JOB CORPS: The key to Your Future
Young women and men enroll in Job Corps to achieve stronger academic, vocational
and life skills. Our students want to be with other young adults, like them,
who are striving to succeed. Job Corps offers you all that and much more:
Eligibility Requirements
A Supportive Environment
Northwest Job Corps includes 11 residential Job Corps Center campuses and one non-residential training center within the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. This means that most NW Job Corps students live on campus in a dormitory with one or more roommates. Trainees who live near a Job Corps Center sometimes choose to live at home and commute to center every day as non-residential students. Although each of the NW Job Corps Centers is unique, each campus has everything you need including classrooms, vocational shops and offices, a cafeteria and recreational facilities. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable home away from home.
When you first arrive at a Job Corps Center campus, and throughout your time in the program, staff will work closely with you to discuss your individual needs. You will work together with staff to set goals and to overcome any barriers that challenge your success. You'll create an individual plan for what you want to achieve while in the Job Corps program. On a typical day, you'll get up early. Everyone helps to keep the dorm neat and clean. After breakfast, you'll either be in academic classes or in vocational training. In your free time in the evenings and on weekends, you can hang out with new friends, participate in clubs, do volunteer work, and participate in other cultural, recreational and educational activities on or off campus.
Training is open entry and open exit and can be up to two years. Most students complete their training in eight months. Job Corps provides career support and transitional assistance for up to 12 months after you graduate.
