Notification when a group of jobs complete

Question

I have a large number of jobs that I run using a cursor (All jobs start with PS_ and each job loads a single table from ORACLE) so they can run in parallel.  I want to be able to be notified when the last job completes.  Should this done using
a trigger?  Or should I just add a loop statement to the stored procedure that fires this job?  I know which individual takes the longest and I could simply just add a notification to send email on success but I want it to be more robust.  Below
is what I am using to trigger the jobs.
Thanks in advance!
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @year CHAR(4)

SET @month = CASE WHEN LEN(CAST(DATEPART(MONTH, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)) = 1
THEN '0'+ CAST(DATEPART(MONTH, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)
ELSE CAST(DATEPART(MONTH, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)
END
SET @day = CASE WHEN LEN(CAST(DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)) = 1
THEN '0' + CAST(DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)

You can store all jobs name in a table variable or temp variable which you want to monitor and then use below code (this code is just for one job name)
DECLARE @JobStatus INT
SET @JobStatus = 0
EXEC MSDB.dbo.sp_start_job @Job_Name = 'JobName'
SELECT @JobStatus = current_execution_status FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'EXEC MSDB.dbo.sp_help_job @job_name = ''JobName'', @job_aspect = ''JOB'' ')
WHILE @JobStatus <> 4
BEGIN
SELECT @JobStatus = current_execution_status FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'EXEC MSDB.dbo.sp_help_job @job_name = ''JobName'', @job_aspect = ''JOB'' ')
END
SP_Help_Job provides the status of the job
