Job Corps is the nation's largest residential education and career training program for young adults ages 16-24. Texas employers may partner with Job Corps centers to access trained entry-level workers in trades, healthcare, manufacturing, and other occupations.
How Job Corps Employer Partnerships Work
Job Corps centers provide free education and vocational training to young adults. The program operates multiple centers across Texas, graduating students with industry-recognized certifications, GEDs, and practical work experience. Employer partners can establish direct hiring pipelines from Job Corps centers in their area.
