Job Corps has 125 centers nationwide and is a place where underprivileged youth from 16 to 24 years of age can go to receive job training and their GED. They are given a great opportunity to learn about different trades including Medical Office Support, Certified Nurse's Aid, Computer Networking, Pharmacy Technician, Business Administration Assistant, Carpentry, Bricklayering just to name a few! There are trades for many professions!
These students leave Job Corps with experience, knowledge, and motivation to accomplish their goals!
Job Corps is currently not accepting any more students until June 30th, 2013. Each week, about 15 students complete their program and about 15 students enter the program. That averages to 42,435 potential students who are being denied entry to the program over this course of 6 months.
40,000 students will be left unemployed and without this amazing opportunity!!
Please sign this petition to support our cause which is this:
To un-freeze enrollment to those possible 40,000 students!
To let employees keep their jobs, and prevent the layoffs!
To prevent the fiscal cliff so that the budget shortfall can allow these students to enter the program!
Please help us to speak up for these students who are waitlisted until July!! They deserve a chance to become employable and successful members of society!
PLEASE HELP KEEP JOB CORPS ALIVE AND RUNNING BY SIGNING THIS PETITION!!
