Government House has announced that Governor Albert Bryan will be out of the territory on Monday through Thursday, June 13-16, to attend a conference in Louisiana for Jobs for America’s Graduates, for which the governor is a member of the national organization’s board of directors.
According to the release, more than 140 young Virgin Islands High School students currently participate in the Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG). This state-based national non-profit organization helps high school students succeed academically and achieve on-the-job training, helping to lead those graduates toward a productive and rewarding career.
Jobs for America’s graduates is led by a public/private partnership at the national level, comprised of leading governors, C-Suite executives among the Fortune 500, and national community leaders. It is organized to support State Affiliates in the high-impact delivery of the JAG Model across middle school, high school, and out-of-school and collegiate young adult populations, Government House said. JAG has served over 1.5 million young people since 1980.
During Governor Bryan’s absence, Lt. Governor Tregenza Roach will be the acting governor.
Mr. Bryan is scheduled to return to the Territory on Thursday, June 16.
