On Friday January 22, over 100 JAG students from our region gathered for the 5th annual JAG Career Development Conference.  Students from Clay, Parke, Vigo and Sullivan counties met on the Ivy Tech campus to compete and demonstrate the skills they have learned during their time in JAG.

Once again, local Employers and Community Leaders volunteered to serve as judges for the event.  They judged a wide variety of competitions including Employability Skills, Public Speaking and Entrepreneurship.   

After competing, the students enjoyed lunch with their fellow competitors, networked with Employers and Community Leaders and were able to tour the Ivy Tech campus.  Presentations from Ivy Tech and Vinncennes University provided the students with information about educational opportunities after they complete high school.

This year's theme Building Tomorrow Today was truly evident in the effort and results achieved by this year's competitors.

Those students who finished in First Place will get to compete at the State JAG Conference in March.
Congratulations to everyone who competed and good luck at the State Finals!
