ADMISSIONS
How does Job Corps work?
Interested young adults apply to the program through
a Job Corps Admission Counselor. Eligible youth are assigned a specific
Job Corps Center, usually one that is located nearest the youth's
home and one that offers career training of interest to the youth.
While at the Center, students take part in academic,
career and life skills training, all of which promote employability
skills. After students graduate, Job Corps provides placement assistance
and follow-up services for up to one year.
Job Corps partners with many local and national
employers to provide work-based learning sites and permanent employment.
Nationally, 91% of all Job Corps graduates are placed in jobs, enlist
in the military or enroll in further education.

CENTER RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
The Recreation Department at the Long Beach Job Corps
Center is an active facility, not only during the day, but also
during student leisure hours, evenings, and weekends.
After the training day, students can participate
in recreation activities which may include playing team sports such
as basketball, volleyball, or individual activities such as weight
training, cardio-training, arts-and-crafts, walks or team-building
initiative games.
The Recreation Building houses a foosball table,
ping-pong table, and pool tables. Here students may relax with their
friends, play board games, and enjoy snacks from the vending machines.
The Recreation Department has weekend and evening activities that
include movies, bowling, shopping, professional games, and other
activities around the center.
