he highlights of the Dropout Recovery/Out-of-School Program Application include: Primary objectives - complete requirements for a high school diploma or a GED certificate and be placed in an entry level job leading to a career and/or pursuing a postsecondary education. A program for participants that have left high school and are committed to taking advantage of the Out-of-School Program until receipt of a high school diploma or GED plus 12 months of follow-up services. Specialists are employed on an 11-month or 12-month basis due to the year-round services. The JAG Specialist interviews all dropouts or candidates that express interest in the program. Dropouts or candidates are targeted for services based upon the number of barriers to a high school diploma or GED certificate and/or transition from school to a career. The Program Roster is formed and approved by an Advisory Committee. Participants receive credit toward graduation by enrolling in an accredited course. Classes are normally offered for two to three times per week for as long as it takes to complete the program targets. A participant-led Professional Association Chapter is organized. Participants complete the 20 core competencies using JAG's National Out-of-School Curriculum Modules.  The online modules provide Specialists with the option to blend online and activity-based classroom delivery. Dropouts receive assistance in graduating from high school or completing requirements for a GED certificate. Graduates receive assistance in the follow-up period based upon their needs, including: employer marketing, job development and placement, employer and graduate follow-up contact, etc. The Electronic National Data Management System (e-NDMS) is used to track the students served, services delivered, and outcomes achieved.
