I'd probably skip jQuery. Learning vanilla JavaScript is the most important part and from there on you could move to a component library like Vuejs or React. Trying to use jQuery knowledge rather than vanilla JavaScript could make it more difficult to learn the newer libraries.

If you're not sure what to do, learning more vanilla JavaScript is never a bad idea. Even if it's only for DOM manipulation.
