college enrollment, or a combination.

Survey Findings
• A random sample survey of employers of JAG graduates were asked by the
Chamber to rate their perceptions of JAG workers and the JAG program.
• To quote the Chamber: “The results portray a highly successful program that
enjoys considerable success and one that is valued among JAG employers.
Both the JAG program and the worker consistently received high rankings
throughout the survey.”
• An overwhelming majority of supervisors (98%) are “Very Likely” or “Somewhat
Likely” to employ other JAG graduates.
• Only 3% of the JAG workers did not meet supervisors’ expectations.
