Job Corps is a major part of federal efforts to provide education and job training to disadvantaged youths. It provides comprehensive services: basic education, vocational skills training, health care and education, counseling, and residential support. More than 60,000 new students between the ages of 16 and 24 enroll in Job Corps each year, at an annual cost to the federal government of more than $1 billion. Currently, the program provides training at 119 Job Corps centers nationwide. The National Job Corps Study is being conducted under contract with the U.S. Department of Labor to provide Congress and program managers with the information they need to assess how well Job Corps attains its goal of helping students become employable, productive citizens.
