The JDG program is designed to help students achieve their academic, career, personal, and social goals. The curriculum includes units that focus on academic achievement, employability, and soft skills, preparing students to pursue higher education, trade programs, enter the workforce, or join the military. Each level challenges students with content that builds in complexity as they progress through each level. The JDG program assists students in finding jobs in the career of their choice during the school year, in the summer, and for 12 months after graduation.

Students in the pathway will have the opportunity to participate in a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO). The CTSO for this pathway is the Delaware Career Association.
