With the general education, enhanced social skills and hands-on job training they receive, these students will have more career pathways from which to choose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Job Corps offers more than 300 pre-apprenticeship programs in the construction, advanced manufacturing, renewable resources and energy, transportation, and automotive and machine repair industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative announced today aligns with the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s commitment to expand Registered Apprenticeship to build equitable pathways to the middle class and connect a diverse workforce to family-supporting, living-wage jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four Job Corps campuses in Texas:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/davidlcarrasco.jobcorps.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David L.

They offer pre-apprenticeship training in Building Construction Technology, Bricklaying, Carpentry, Cement Masonry,&nbsp;<a>HVAC<\/a>, Painting, Plastering and Plumbing. Other career skills training areas include programs in&nbsp;advanced manufacturing, automotive and machine repair, finance and business, health care, homeland security, hospitality, and transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1964, Job Corps is the nation\u2019s largest job training and education program. It provides students from 16 to 24 years of age with vocational training and academic experiences to increase opportunities toward gainful employment and career pathways. A mostly residential program in urban and rural areas, Job Corps centers include dormitories and a campus environment&nbsp;<a>similar to<\/a>&nbsp;small colleges. Job Corps provides programs and services to students free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Administered by the department\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/eta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employment and Training Administration<\/a>, the Job Corps network currently has 121 centers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobcorps.gov\/recruiting\/enrollment-interest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about Job Corps<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre-apprenticeship initiative launches in Texas, aligns with National Apprenticeship Week, Nov. 14\u201320<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27376,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[12442,10323,536,12441,12445,5205,881,12444],"class_list":["post-27375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-apprenticeship-programs","tag-campus","tag-education","tag-job-corps","tag-national-apprenticeship-week","tag-program","tag-student","tag-u-s-department-of-labor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
