What can I get at Hartford Job Corps?

We also partner with local community colleges and employers so that you can earn the education and on-the-job experience you need to set you up for success after graduation.
How do I know if I’m eligible?
There are eligibility requirements before you can enroll at Hartford Job Corps. For example, you should be a low-income 16- through 24-year-old and a U.S. citizen (or lawfully admitted permanent resident alien, refugee, asylee or other immigrant who has been authorized to work in the United States).
Connect with an Admissions Representative to learn more about income eligibility; but you may qualify if you receive SNAP, TANF, or free or reduced school lunch, or if you are experiencing homelessness or are a foster youth.
But is it really free?
It is! Hartford Job Corps is free of cost to our students. All you have to do is commit to your future, work hard and be ready to succeed.
