In response to emerging workforce needs in high-demand industries across the nation, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Job Corps program offers free training that provides students with the skills needed to connect with the high-quality jobs.
Those investments accelerated the need for highly skilled workers in the infrastructure, climate and advanced manufacturing sectors. With more than 400 pre-apprenticeship training programs across the country, the Job Corps program is a wellspring for the talent pipeline needed in communities where the administration is realizing its investments.
Job Corps partners with employers to equip students with relevant and current hands-on training, resulting in students who have the skills, support and connections they need to progress into Registered Apprenticeship programs or enter directly into stable careers after graduation.
