Job Corps Overview:

Job Corps has been a viable option for young people for almost 50 years!  The premise of this residential program is to make a young person (age 16-24) employable by encouraging self development and providing an environment conducive to creating a more marketable and independent youth.  Female referrals are strongly needed at this time. To us, employability includes the following:

1. Hands on training in over 100 competitive trades at centers across the country
2. A completed education (high school diploma or GED if a person does not already have one
3. Mobility (students have the opportunity to earn a driver’s license while in the program)

Job Corps is a drug free environment and drug tests are mandatory upon entry.

We are also a zero- tolerance program looking for suitable and committed applicants!
