What is life like at Job Corps?
We understand that being away from family and friends can be difficult;
that's why those who
apply and succeed in Job Corps are truly remarkable!
Life on a Job Corps center is just a matter
of adjustment. You'll
feel at home in no time. In addition to the educational and vocational opportunities
that Job Corps offers, there's a whole lot more. Where else can you earn while
you learn? That's right;
you earn a living allowance while you get
your High School Diploma/GED and learn the vocational
skills that'll start your journey to a new career. Remember, this is the best time
of your life! At Job
Corps you can not only obtain your HSD/GED and a career, but you
can make lifelong friends as well!
Dormitories
Students at Job Corps share dorm-type rooms with one to seven roommates
of the same gender.
You will receive a set of bed linens, bath towels,
and a locker with a lock and key to store personal
belongings upon
arrival. These items must be returned upon completion of the program.
You and
your roommates will be asked to keep your room clean, your
beds made, and to help with the
cleaning of the dorms.
Daily Schedule
During the day, students attend career classes and/or academic classes
to get their GED or high
school diploma, as well instruction to get
their driver's license.
Free Time
Job
Corps offers a variety of additional activities such as community
service projects, arts and crafts,
cultural awareness programs, field
trips to area attractions (mall, movies, sporting events, concerts,
etc.), intramural sports, student government, and yearly Academic
Olympics competition.
