Job Corps

I want to enter this career because I am a hands- on learner and I would be able to accomplish many things with this training experience. Carpentry will allow me to have a chance at success in the job market because there are several opportunities and different career paths you can take as a skilled carpenter. Once I leave Job Corps I will
