Consider Job Corps

As the school year comes to a close and the summer months approach, we would like to remind you that Job Corps offers open enrollment throughout the year. Often times, our youth are energized to apply in September, however we are encouraging them to take the steps to enroll in the program now! Listed below are the 3 steps towards enrollment.

Step 1

Attend our Job Corps Orientation. At orientation, we will discuss the program expectations and eligibility. Our orientations are held every Wednesday at Noon our office is located at 39 State Street Suite 420.  See attachment for eligibly or call 585-454-5130 if you have questions.

Step 2

If it’s determined that the student is eligible, then they will be invited to interview with an admission’s counselor. During the interview, we will determine if the student is suitable for the program and complete the application. (Student’s will bring the required documents to this interview See Attachment).

Step 3

Once the application is completed and we submit the application with our recommendation, the student must contact their admission’s counselor weekly to check-in. (*Please keep in mind, that the center makes the final decision on acceptance into the program, departure times vary based on the center and trade. Many center currently have openings).

Job Corps is an extraordinary opportunity for students. Our youth are critically important to the future of our local communities as well as our country. Many just need another chance to reach their full potential. We look forward to the prospect of working in collaboration with you to achieve this worthwhile goal. We are also more than happy to come to you to present to your staff and/or students/clients. Please feel free to call or email either myself of Ms. Caldwell to schedule a presentation or if you have any questions.
