Job Corps would update its programs and get new funding to help young people.
This bill would update the Job Corps program, which helps young people get job training and education. It would change who can join, how the campuses are run, and how staff are paid. The bill also sets aside money for the program through the government's budget year 2031.
Today, Job Corps helps young people get job training with specific eligibility rules and a shorter period of post-graduation support. After this bill, more young people would qualify for the program, and graduates would receive support for a full year instead of three months. Job Corps campuses would also have updated rules for operations, student conduct, and staff pay.
