Job Corps is the nation's largest residential career training and education program for low-income young adults ages 16 through 24. Students can earn a high school diploma, a high school equivalency credential, or college credits through Job Corps. They offer career technical training in more than 100 different career training areas at 120 campuses across the nation. Students receive housing, meals, basic health care, a living allowance, training, and preparation for a career, all at no cost. For up to 21 months after graduation, a career transition counselor will help the student make the transition from Job Corps into the real world.

Each student meets with an Admissions Specialist to discuss their background and interests and selects a vocation. The specialist helps the student complete the steps necessary to enroll at the center. The career development plan includes the necessary academic and vocational courses to ensure the student develops the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. For students who haven’t graduated from high school, Job Corps can help them earn their diploma or high school equivalency credential, and get them in a tutoring program if they need extra guidance. Students have the chance to train with professionals at actual work sites through Job Corps’ Work-Based Learning Program. Job Corps works with employers in every corner of the country to provide students with on-the-job experience. Placement specialists work with students for up to 21 months after they graduate to help them find the right job. If needed, placement counselors can also help connect students with local housing, transportation, and child care resources in their neighborhood.

Partners in Vocational Opportunity Training (PIVOT) Job Corps Centers serve low- income young adults in nonresidential campuses to learn new skills to benefit their

future and train for a career their passionate about. PIVOT students can earn their high school diploma or the equivalent, take community college classes, meet with career counselors, and participate in work-based learning experiences.
