ASHLAND – Jobs for Ohio’s Graduates (JOG) is bringing its services to Ashland County.

Since 1987, JOG has helped youth with multiple barriers to success complete their education and successfully transition to employment at a livable wage or post-secondary job training.

Some of these provided services include: employability skill development, GED assistance, leadership development, work experience programs and job linkage to name a few.

These services are designed help young people ages 14-24 across Ashland County enrolled in both in-school and out-of-school programs.

Chris Canova, Executive Director at JOG explained some of the services JOG provides to help young people.

 “We work with young people to establish educational and employment goals and we attain them through a combined effort,” Canova said. “JOG is a program that individuals, schools, and communities can count on to produce well-equipped tax-paying citizens.

“We have served thousands of young people to overcome barriers to graduation and positively transition them into employment and post-secondary training opportunities through the efforts of our Career Specialists, and we are excited to bring these opportunities to Ashland County.”
