Job Corps is for low-income 16- to 24-year-olds who are interested in furthering their education or training for a career. 

Connect with an admissions counselor 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 homeless or a foster youth. Sound like you?  See if you’re eligible at JobCorps.gov/recruiting/student-eligibility-quiz.

Job Corps trains future employees for the industries that are hiring. Training programs include nursing, culinary arts, construction, welding, conservation and more! No matter what you’re interested in, there’s a career path for you at Job Corps that offers growth and earning potential. Not sure what you want to train in? We can help with that, too. Connect with an admissions counselor to learn more. 

Living on campus means you’ll have a dorm, meals, training supplies, basic health care and a community of support to cheer you on while you get after your goals. If living on campus doesn’t work for you, Job Corps offers nonresidential training at certain centers. An admissions counselor can talk to you more about your options if you have questions!

It is! Job Corps is funded by the federal government and is free to students and their families.
