DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A jobs program helping at-risk Iowa high school students will receive a $50,000 boost.
Representatives from Cargill are expected to give the money on Monday morning to the Iowa Jobs for America’s Graduates program, or iJAG.
The program helps students in the classroom and with work-based experiences that might help them get a job or earn a GED. Program officials say it has a 94 percent graduation rate for participating students.
Gov. Chet Culver is expected to attend the 11 a.m. event at the state Capitol.
