A Closer Look
Learning through Leadership

Work-Based Learning
JDG’s CORE Internship and Work-based Learning Programs are key in bridging the gap between concepts learned in the classrooms and applications in the field. Each program delivers enhanced experiential learning with the potential for permanent employment or temporary paid work opportunities.
