JMG Program

The First to Launch a JMG Program in Maine

Thomas College launched its JMG Program in 2014. It was the first college in Maine to have this program and is still the only private college in Maine with a Jobs for Maine Graduates program.

Thomas College supports the success and graduation of active alumni of JMG high school programs attending Thomas College by integrating the program model at Thomas College. Specialists bridge students from high school to college through graduation, focusing especially on career and personal development and providing success coaching to meet each student’s needs. Other students who identify with Jobs for Maine Graduates may request participation by contacting the program specialist.

JMG partners with public education and private businesses to offer results-driven solutions to ensure all Maine students graduate, attain postsecondary credentials, and pursue meaningful careers. Serving more than 13,000 students each year, the program offers on-ramps from 6th grade through age 24 through nearly 150 programs embedded in public schools, career and technical education centers, and on every campus in the University of Maine System and the Maine Community College System.

JMG TRIO Programs at Thomas College

“I have been with JMG for 7 years of my life both at the Gardiner Area High School (GAHS) and Thomas College. Jobs for Maine Graduates has helped to strengthen my social skills and transform me into the man that I am today. I highly recommend the program to any student who wishes to get the necessary support and success to help shape their future endeavors and future career.”
