“Job Corps is a vital part of our economy. We provide a service that no other institution in the country provides, so it’s an honor to be part of this program. I would just hope that Congress and other political leaders will see the value in it and will continue to keep this program as strong as it always has been.” – Ellen May, Hawaii Job Corps (Waimanalo, HI)

“There are just endless opportunities and promise for students to fulfill potential.” – Melissa Tran, Woodstock Job Corps (Woodstock, MD)

“The Job Corps program is unbelievable. There is no program like it throughout any other country.” – Marshall Norman, Maui Job Corps (Maui, HI)

“It’s hard work, but it’s going to pay off in the future.” – Mel Gaines, former center director, Brunswick Job Corps (former contract)

“Job Corps is one of the best things out there and the American public needs to know about it. They need us to train people for all of these open jobs.” – Rocky Flanary, Sierra Nevada Job Corps (Reno, NV)

“Because Job Corps works so well, it gets support on both sides of the aisle. It’s beneficial to the community, it is beneficial to the taxpayers, and we do produce great workers and employees for employers. So, the program works!” – Tom Fitzwater, Los Angeles Job Corps (Los Angeles, CA)
