Yeah, the classroom stuff is great, but let's get real. There's a difference between hearing about something and actually doing it. The Job Corps provides a chance to do things. Some culinary arts students work in our cafeterias' kitchens. Others help in the offices, practicing valuable business skills.
Students operate the centers' switchboards, man the gates, and work on the air conditioning.
Some projects add to the campus infrastructure. Sometimes an entire campus structure is built by students, who then get to enjoy the benefits of their labor during their tenure at the center. They also get a tremendous sense of pride, both in their accomplishment and the result of their labor. After all, we believe in the Job Corps and its graduates. Inc. All rights reserved.
