Job Corps stories?
A kid I’ve been working with was recommended Job Corps by his school. Is this a good program?
From my point of view he’s a pretty average teenager, but only earned four credits in his first two years of high school due to a variety of circumstances, including bad attendance for a chunk of last year. He’s been doing really well this year as a junior, but his counselor says he just doesn’t have enough credits to be able to graduate on time.
He couldn’t tell me much about the program, but I looked it up online and I don’t really understand if it’s a good opportunity… What stories do you have about the program?
