Whatever their goals, Job Corps students live in a safe place and learn skills to get ahead. By getting involved with local community outreach and improvement efforts, Job Corps students learn good citizenship skills and gain a sense of belonging to the community.
Students also expand their vocational training skills by working on community projects.
Job Corps also benefits local economies. Communities welcome the economic stimulation a Job Corps center generates by increasing the pool of consumers who buy local goods and services. This positive relationship with the local community is an important part of the Job Corps program. To accommodate employers' needs, Job Corps also involves them in the development and implementation of Job Corps vocational curricula.
