More than 120 Job Corps campuses exist nationwide, including those in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Within those states are a varying number of Job Corps centers that train young people for the workplace. Once students have been admitted to the program, they receive their training at a selected Job Corps center.
All students receive integrated academic, vocational, and social skills training.
With good performance, they can also receive advanced training. In addition to training that helps students get good, entry-level jobs, Job Corps also offers a variety of other benefits to keep students healthy and motivated, while providing resources to make their transition into the workplace easier.
