  I did my trade and every other day someone was doing something wrong or bad like caught smearing poop all over walls, having intercourse in staff bathroom & cafeteria bathroom... smoking drinking you get the spiel meals are horrid, staff COMPLETELY unprofessional... with the most absurd and unnecessary rules saying their "trying to keep it safe" which is just bull. --- though if you had been struggling before coming to job corps its a nice boost if you stay and complete everything

  ( worth the read if your interested in coming here ) Currently still here! About 5 months in doing great, don’t listen to the reviews it’s not bad, the hardest part is CPP or just getting accepted at that. The peers here are usually really friendly, not too hard to find friends especially in your group you arrived with. Boys and girls are only separated by dorms otherwise you can date here or whatever you want to do. I will say most staff doesn’t recommend it as you might see them everyday if you ever break up. I’ve heard great things about most trades and usually the biggest problem is with staff. I’d say 20% of staff shouldn’t be here but the rest make up for it. Cafeteria food is as you’d expect and the area to eat is surprisingly homey. Girls dorms come with bathrooms in the room boys have communal ones. If your a guy GET SANDALS PLEASE. If you’re a girl just vibe, also guys consider getting a basket for shower products so you can easily carry them back and forth. Expect a drug test when you arrive as well a Tuberculosis test just a small scratch on the arm. If your 16-17 you will have to sign a sheet every 2 hours which sucks but you’ll get use to it. Dorms are very nice I’m a female so I’m only aware of what ours look like but the boys have seen photos and have told me they are the same just removing the bathroom. When I heard lockers I thought it meant like school lockers but it’s actually just a really tall closet with shelves and a lock, each dorm fits up to 4 people but the handy cap rooms only fit 2. Theft isn’t really an issue here the only things I’ve heard is ( for the girls at least ) underwear, or food. I looked at the reviews constantly before arriving, the one I saw was about bringing snacks and trust me that’s 100% true but your better off bringing money and getting some here remember your only allowed 2 bags in here so they are really strict about that. Once you check in you can have someone else bring you more stuff but initial check in is 2 bags. Also you get 6 days of PTO (payed time off) and about 6 days of admin leave. Weekends could be every weekend if you wanted. Admin leave is for medical leave (you must have proof after you get back of the appointment) it is the only one that they will pay for. Otherwise you must buy your own transportation besides if you need a ride to the train station or airport something like that. The lock they provide is like a school locker I don’t like them so if you want you can bring your own but it must have a code to it not the one with keys. If you have one with keys you can use that anywhere but your locker, they are weirdly strict and flexible here. Usually you’ll get a daily snack but no promises as they are very off and on also they usually give you a paper bag with a pack of ramen, fruit cup, and pudding. If not a fruit cup then apple sauce, it’s also very iffy they are supposed to be given to you every Saturday and Sunday. You’ll be payed 40$ every 2 weeks and you can spend it on anything you like as they provide free food, living space, laundry detergent, stuff like that. LADYS if you don’t want a 2 inch pad or tampon but your own! MEN I’ve heard people like to steal tp for their own personal rolls consider buying your own. Speaking of tp it’s actually pretty decent quality! Things you will have to get include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant (this is not limited to what I’ve said there’s a lot but don’t worry about the stuff mentioned earlier). If you ask a RA they may have some though. The only way to get money here is your normal paychecks and tabe tests and graduation. There are two Tabe tests math and reading, they test your knowledge on both and if you pass you get 25$ if you score higher then before then you get about 10$. If you don’t pass your first time taking it you’ll be put in classes which interrupt your trade so try you best on the first time. REC is probably your best friend if you don’t have anything to do. They have Xbox’s and PlayStations available all hours when the rec is open also board games, pool, rec trips, gyms, etc..

  My daughter has recently resigned and it's impossible to get her highschool records so she can continue her education. We have called every number and most dont go to anyone or the ones that do dont return your call. They seem extremely disorganized and unprofessional. Also when she was supposed to fly back to center she didn't receive her flight information until 4 hours before she was to board the flight! She was with us for two weeks, seems like enough time to organize a flight back with at least 24 hours notice. Last straw was they have the ability to have multiple people call us about locating her EX BOYFRIEND but can't be bothered to help her. It's disappointing, disturbing and disgusting.

  This place is horrible! My daughter tried becoming a student there and they denied her because she had a warning letter when she was 13teen years old. This school was designed for minorities but it seems their just taking money from the government for not helping young adults needing to learn a trade
