Jobs for Delaware Graduates - The Governor's Race for Excellence 5K

Join us for the 3rd Annual Governor's Race for Excellence 5K to benefit JDG.  This year 5K will be located at the beautiful Glasgow Park on a USATF certified course.

Jobs for Delaware Graduates (JDG) was designed in 1978 by five working groups in Delaware, drawn from business, educational, workforce, labor union, and community leadership. The purpose of the organization was to simultaneously address Delaware’s unemployment and dropout rates. Together, the public and private sector leaders of the state developed the model of Jobs for Delaware Graduates. 

Our mission is to enable students to achieve academic, career, personal and social success.

More than 50,000 young people have participated in JDG programs since their inception, and more than 250 employers rely on Jobs for Delaware Graduates for producing enthusiastic, well-prepared, and effective employees.
