How often does JAG hold the National Career Development Conference?

The National Career Development Conference (NCDC) is an essential event for the Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) program. It is held annually to gather students, educators, and employers, creating a platform for networking, sharing resources, and discussing best practices in career development for youth. This yearly structure allows participants to engage in workshops, competitions, and keynote sessions focused on enhancing career readiness and professional skills.

Holding the conference annually ensures that there is ample time between events for meaningful development and preparation, while also allowing attendees to anticipate and plan for the gathering as it becomes a staple in the career development calendar. As a result, the annual schedule helps to maintain continuity and build a strong community among stakeholders involved in the JAG program.
