Educator Testimonial

Name: Elise Locke Title: Postsecondary Readiness Coordinator District Name: Indianapolis Public Schools "Last year was my first experience with JA JobSpark and I was completely blown away by the magnitude of the event and the impact that it has across my district and our city. Feedback from last year's event was incorporated throughout the planning stages this year to make for an even more impactful event that will "spark" great conversations about college, career, and life readiness on school campuses and homes across the city. We are exited to carry on these important conversations so that the spark ignited within students at JA JobSpark will continue to burn brightly and guide them on their path towards the 3 E's: Enrollment, Enlistment, & Employment."
