JMG

Our JMG team is ready to take on the next academic year and energized after our annual workforce development summit at Sugarloaf Mountain. This gathering is a time for us to collaborate, share ideas, and strengthen our collective mission. As we prepare for the year ahead, our focus remains on our students and achieving student-centered, results-driven outcomes. We are ready to make this year our best yet, creating positive change and lasting impacts for the students we serve.

We're thrilled to showcase the incredible experiences students had with our JMG Scrub Club! This program provided hands-on learning and exposure to careers in the healthcare industry, inspiring a new generation of passionate healthcare professionals. A special thank you to MaineHealth for their unwavering support and dedication to our students' futures. LifeFlight of Maine, thank you for the added excitement of letting our students tour one of your helicopters, making it both fun and educational for them to learn about the incredible work of your organization. Our students were truly motivated by the opportunities shared through this program. We are so grateful for our entire team that is helping pave the way for future healthcare professionals. Together, we made a real impact! #JMG #FutureProfessionals #MaineHealthCareers

For more than 30 years, JMG has been delivering competency-based education. As we look to the future, we are excited to offer a Microcredential Competency Model, the first of its kind in the nation for high school students. To learn more about how we have engaged learners, educators, parents, employers, and institutions of higher education in our co-design process, check out this new blog post from Digital Promise. Digital Promise is a global nonprofit working to expand opportunities for every learner. We are thrilled to have benefited from the leadership and expertise of Digital Promise, as JMG offers microcredentials to support job and career readiness and postsecondary preparation in the form of digital badges that students can publish on professional platforms, complete with metadata that details the issuer, recipient and knowledge and skills represented. We believe students will need these tools to succeed in the new era of AI, and we are committed to ensuring equity of opportunity for all students. Our Microcredential Competency Model enables students to start building their online resumes and professional networks while still in high school, creating a sense of belonging and empowerment, while also showcasing individual skills, talents, and a commitment to learning. https://lnkd.in/eBSBGshW

Our Unum Starting 9, the JMG Specialists who supported the most students to earn the badge, had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at a Portland Sea Dogs game alongside Maine Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Heather Johnson. A special appearance by American Idol finalist Julia Gagnon made the night even more spectacular! Thank you to all of our JMG Team for their dedication in achieving this remarkable milestone.
