Whether or not you have finished high school, you can take advantage of Job Corps programs. Job Corps is different from high school . You don't compete for grades. Instructors are committed to your personal success and you decide if you want to participate later in advanced training classes or college programs.


 



When you graduated from Job Corps, you decide where you want to go from there. Placement counselors are available to help you find a job. You will get a readjustment fund which will enable you to make the necessary purchases to transition into the work world.
