Job Corps is a residential education and career-training program offering wrap around supports, administered by the Department of Labor, with Job Corps Centers operating in every state in the country. Job Corps Centers offer a critical service to youth and young adults who are disconnected from the education system and have barriers to entering the workforce. The centers also offer an opportunity for local service providers to serve as partners in connecting eligible young people with Job Corps Centers and to valuable services in the local community.
