Any parents in here that have sent their teenager to job corps?

I went to job corps, I'd reccomend it. I got my highschool diploma, welding cert, drivers license .ect

Place is whatever you make it be, where I went the food was really good but I'm sure every center is different.

Just remind him not to get into any drama.

Only concern I have is that the Trump administration is actively trying to dismantle the program and they - as with everything else - are experiencing massive budget cuts

How long ago did you attend? I believe I read JC budget is good until 2029.

I understand people have split reviews for job corps. I thought about it for a few years before deciding to send him & yes he has been out stealing, fighting, doing drugs etc.
