(i.e. Does it have a good reputation for producing skilled workers, or will they look at it and think "Oh this was a troubled kid that went to JobCorp instead of jail.") Okay, three questions - And will my baby be safe? LOL (but seriously)
Thank you. Anything you want to share about your experience would be appreciated too.

Good morning A.
I must have missed this thread... sorry...
I attended JobCorps (many years ago). And did obtain my GED.. was working for my trade but illness forced me to resign. Yes, they actually do teach and if the person is interested in learning, the mentors will take them under their wing and flood them with learning and life skills. (My experience) .. I have much to share ... good and bad... and can also reference which facilities to avoid. JobCorps was a stepping stone for me... that initially gave me culture shock in many forms but in all, I turned it into a positive experience and have moved up the ladder ever since.
I will say... many years ago, several facilities were charged with ignoring hazing events.
I must rush off to work... would like to help... PM if u wish .....I'll never forget my time there. The harshness or the positive...
