Job Corps

from being enrolled in online school that gave me the option to work at my own pace, to applying for a program called Job Corps, where I would live on campus and be on a boot camp like schedule. Nothing worked, school just wasn’t for me. When I turned 16, I made the decision to not only drop my online classes, but also made the decision to stop calling my counselor for Job Corps. I was never encouraged to return to school until I moved to Wisconsin a year and a half after being out of school. You

I grew-up watching my father advance himself to the rank of Colonel in the Marine Corps. It was because of him I developed a strong desire to be part of a brotherhood. By the time I got to college I knew I wanted a career that was structured similarly to the military, but with opportunities to serve my community at a local level. I started my educational career at Hillsborough Community College, where I received my associate’s degree and continued onto the University of South Florida, where I received

One Memorable Day was when I came to Job Corps. When I first walked in there was students everywhere it was like a little college. As the staff was walking me to the small chapel, there were students talking to me welcoming me asking my name, age, sign, just being kids as usual, there was boys walking in there because I came in on a Tuesday which the students called it “NEW BOOTY TUESDAY,” and I was so nervous. Once the staff walked in they order us pizza and was telling my input family (which

If your not a student or parent there is no way of getting on campus without being arrested! I was a student at Atterbury Job corps back in 2006 through 2007, there are many stories that I could tell you about the things I have seen and heard. The location of Atterbury Job corps used to be a hospital around WWII that had roughly 9,000 beds and treated more than 85,000 patients during WWII and was one of the Army's plastic surgery centers. I have also discovered that when the military bought the

For my skills writing I am going to write about my journey to Job Corps. The elementary school I attended was Daniel A. Payne elementary and my middle school I attended was Kelly miller middle school. My high school I attended was H.D Woodson and I never completed the ninth grade because my mom had recommended Job Corps to me because of problems I had in school. I had good grades when I was in school but when I went to high school I had got into too many fights. I left in the ninth grade and when

Before Job Corps my life had been going downhill, see my Mom wasn’t in my life. While I’ve been at Job Corps I’ve learned many things. I believe I have a bright future. My Mom wanted to be there but she had no choice. She at the time left a three year old and I at the time was ten years old so I had to step up and take care him. My Dad would always be at work at times my older Sister would also help but ever since then I just felt like a Mom. Growing up it was just me and my little Brother. I

to Material Handling. I have enjoyed learning about Material Handling at Job Corps. The preparation that I have been getting at the St. Louis Job Corps Center will help me greatly when I leave here. Material handlers are found in every company and make anywhere in the range of $25,000 - $33, 000 a year. The more things a person knows and the more certifications they get the better their chances of getting a higher paying job out here. Positions identifying with this occupation are not rare performed

I came to St. Louis job corps in June with goals of getting a high school diploma and doing carpentry. A few people were telling me that I was not going to be able to get the program but I push the issued. My family needed me to experience this so it would give me structure in life and figure out how to be a man. In secondary school all I wanted to do was play games and goofy off and go to the boxing gym and not do my work while every one of my peers advanced on and I didn’t. When I really got selected

I would like to discuss the current situation of how the Burdick Job Corps Center is doing. I am a current student here at the Burdick Job Corps Center located in Minot, North Dakota. I have a few concerns regarding how the center could be more effective towards the students. After all, I mean this whole facility is meant for the students to get their trade completion and their high school diploma or GED. I’d like to discuss the Wellness facility, the cafeteria food, the technology and lastly, leaving

I would like to bring to your attention the fact that the food at Fort Simcoe Job Corps is not very good in fact it’s disgusting. The salad is not prepped right there are brown spots on the lettuce, some of the tomatoes are rotted and it smells bad. The meat also isn’t usually prepped right. It is usually bloody or tastes bloody. The nasty somewhat bloody meat is served again the same week as a reheat. The eggs are never cooked all the way through and are still a little bit runny and raw. The cooks
