June’s Answer

The opportunities in the Job Corp are boundless and tuition is free! Ages 16-24 - so many choices. I've included the link below to help you explore what career choices you have. Most importantly is to find a career you have a strong interest in and enjoy doing. The Job Corp is a self-paced program. You learn at your own pace. Depending on the career area you choose and the learning pace you set for yourself, training can take from eight months to two years to complete.

Eligibility
A person is eligible for Job Corps if he or she meets the following criteria:
Is a legal U.S. resident; lawfully admitted permanent resident alien, refugee, asylee, or parolee, or other immigrant who has been authorized by the U.S. attorney general to work in the United States; or resident of a U.S. territory.
Meets low-income criteria.
Is in need of additional technical training, education, counseling, or related assistance to complete schoolwork or to find and keep a job.
Has signed consent from a parent or guardian if he or she is a minor.
Has a child care plan if he or she is the parent of a dependent child.
Does not exhibit behavioral problems that could keep him, her, or others from experiencing Job Corps’ full benefits.
Does not require any face-to-face court or institutional supervision or court-imposed fines while enrolled in Job Corps.
Does not use drugs.

Phases of career development

Applicants to the Job Corps program are identified and screened for eligibility by organizations contracted by the U.S. Department of Labor. Each student in the Job Corps goes through four stages of the program:

Outreach and Admissions (OA): This is the stage at which students visit admissions counselors and gather information, as well as prepare for and leave for their Job Corps Centers. Transportation is provided to and from the centers by Job Corps.

Career Preparation Period (CPP): This stage focuses on the assimilation of the student into the center, academic testing, health screening, and instruction on resume building and job search skills. Students are instructed on computer literacy, employability, and center life. This phase lasts for the first 30 days on center.

Career Development Period (CDP): This period is where the student receives all vocational training, drivers' education, academic instruction, and preparation for life outside of Job Corps, i.e. a repeat of CPP with an actual job search.

Career Transition Readiness (CTR): The period immediately after the student graduates. Career Transition Specialists outside the center assist in the graduate's job search and arrangement of living accommodations, transportation, and family support resources.
