This interactive workshop will introduce the JAG Competency Framework within the context of Engine 2, JAG’s innovation strategy focused on evolving delivery models, employer integration, and future-ready skills. Participants will explore how the framework supports this vision and engage in guided discussions to surface early insights and shared understanding.

JAG created a powerful set of competencies in the 1970’s, leading the way for workforce preparation. As JAG’s competencies turn 60 it’s a new moment to lead the way, updating the competencies to ensure the young people we serve are ready for our rapidly changing career landscape. This workshop will explore the current terrain of work, and the competencies that employers are asking us to help young people develop.

You’ll learn why you prefer sameness over novelty, and what you can do this year to tear down or leap over the barriers to changing everything.
