Program Description

Job Corps is the nation’s largest career technical training and education program for low-income young people ages 16 through 24. Job Corps enrolls approximately 50,000 young people each year at 126 centers in 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Job Corps graduates train in the skills needed to start a career, enlist in the military, or move on to pursue higher education. Students have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma through partnerships with local school districts or a high school equivalency credential. Job Corps also provides room and board, counseling and mentoring services, and basic medical care while students are in the program, and career counseling and transitional support for up to 12 months after graduation.

Job Corps offers training in more than 100 career areas, and all programs start students on a path toward industry-recognized credentials.

Young people ages 16 through 24 who meet low-income requirements can enroll in the program at no cost to them.
