MTC storms Capitol Hill during NJCA Policy Forum

Management & Training Corporation (MTC) made yet another strong showing at the annual National Job Corps Association (NJCA) Policy Forum in Washington DC, March 22-26, 2010.

MTC Job Corps business and community liaisons (BCLs) scheduled 110 appointments with their Congressional offices on Tuesday, March 23. Half of those appointments were with the actual elected officials, while the other half were with key staff members who regularly brief their representatives and senators on Job Corps issues.

The NJCA also honored MTC as its Operator of the Year. The organization noted that, in 2009, 21 of the 26 Job Corps centers MTC operates, or partners in operating, earned the maximum 48 stars through their quarterly star public outreach program. A maximum of 12 stars each quarter can be earned by maintaining contact with congressional representatives, generating positive media coverage, completing green initiatives and undertaking other community outreach efforts.

In addition to the NJCA Policy Forum, MTC students, center directors and business and community liaisons also participated in their own training conferences on March 24 and 25. As part of the student conference, visiting Job Corps students decided the winner of the first-ever MTC You Tube Video Contest. In a very close vote, the Philadelphia Job Corps Life Science Institute claimed the $1000 grand prize.

The busy week ended in traditional fashion with a closing MTC banquet. Students and employees were honored for their accomplishments and encouraged to work to maintain MTC is the leading Job Corps operator in the country.
