About Us
Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates (JCG), a non-profit organization, was created in 1982 by the Cincinnati business community. Our vision is to lead every student to graduation, a successful career, and life-long learning.
The mission of JCG is to assist high school students and dropouts with significant challenges, to help them graduate, and successfully make a planned transition from school to career. We accomplish our mission by focusing on the social and work skills that are required for success in school and career. These include:
- Integrating academic skills with job attainment, retention and advancement skills,
- Developing and guiding individualized, achievable career plans,
- Tutoring, mentoring and assisting with proficiency preparation,
- Connecting with social services to meet individual needs,
- Providing follow-up services to help overcome hurdles during
the year after graduation, and
- Measuring results.
The three high school programs are:
JCG is affiliated with the state organization, Jobs for Ohio’s Graduates (JOG) and the national organization, Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG). The comprehensive Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates programs follow the national JAG model of service delivery. JCG is also a partner in the youth workforce development system.
