Potomac Job Corps Is One Of The Worst Federally Funded Programs That The Departmant Of Labor Has To Offer. The Center Itself Is Ranked 104 Out Of 123 Job Corps Centers. Statiscally This Is One Of The Horrible. The Fact That The Center Has Fraternity Members On Staff Is A Complete Conspiracy In Itself. As A Student Myself I Received Harassment And Disrespect On Many Levels. Many Students Also Smoked Marijuana, Got Drunk, And Had Sex All While Being On Campuse. In 2004 The Center Was Sued For Giving Fake Highschool Diplomas To Students. The Department Of Labor Needs To Audit The Financial Records Of The Center Based On The Fact That The 37,000 Scholarship We Receive Is Used To Our Advantage. The Transportation Department Is Small And Becomes Overrun When Multiple Students Have To Go Off Campus This Leads To Many Being Left On Center. The Dorms Also Have Mice,Bed Bugs, And Scabes. STD's Are Also Very Common Based On The Fact 85% Of D.C Residents Have And STD. Students Are Looked At As A Number This Become's Evident When You Approach Them About A Problem You Are Having. The More Students A Center Has The More Money It Gets So Every Tuesday We Received About 17-20 The Center Only Holds 480 Every Friday No Less Than 10 Would Leave This Leads To Overpopulation. Homosexuality Between Young Men And Women Spread Like Wild Fires Even Some Staff Had Sex With Students.
The Main Point Of My Statement Is To Tell All Recruits That Are Coming To Job Corps Is That You Are Just Another Number For The Contractors Salary The Academics And Vocational Trades Are Illusions Students Rarely Even Get Placed In A Job That They Are Certified In. JOB CORPS IS A WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS

In the current U. S. economy, where job seekers face a very competitive job market, it is easy to let the importance of a good corporate culture fall by the wayside. But be advised as a career administrative professional and director
of the Potomac Job Corps Center in Washington, D. C., neither I nor my staff ignore the importance of a good working and nurturing environment. At Potomac, we have discovered that staff and students find our corporate culture as
important to their work and training satisfaction as the actual training experiences and job duties they perform. Our executive team realizes that individuals want to train and work for a company whose values and undertakings
they respect. And likewise when our responsibilities include nurturing a compassionate environment for our employees and students, it was vital that we construct a strategic plan that would make our work and training place comfortable, non-invasive, and productive.
The Potomac Job Corps Strategic Plan is designed to encourage collaboration, consensus and advisory from our staff and students. It is also designed to be community-inclusive and would embrace all levels of our organization. As the
result, we have a document and practice that welcomes diversity in opinions and work performance. It perpetuates our charge and one we take most seriously, to address and find resolutions to staff and student concerns when notified. As
with all organizations, there are areas that are difficult to address when they affect a group versus an individual. However, we encourage students and staff to offer our executive team the opportunity to resolve or modify as needed any
issues that might prevent their successful transition through our program. We also have codes that edify our administrative practices:
We abide by our financial agreement with the Department of Labor;
We adhere to social demands and safety procedures;
We respect the privacy of our employees and students;
We look for opportunities for on-going progress;
We offer opportunities that benefit and not harm those in our care;
We regulate our certification programs according local, state and federal guidelines;
We operate in an ethical manner, never sacrificing our ethics to negative forces;
We provide medical and counseling services to those who wish to be served;
We offer high standards and we do not deter from this norm.
For the optimistic job-seeking student between the ages of 16 and 24 and for potential great employees alike, Job Corps offers a positive working and learning environment that rivals most industry employment training programs. If youre looking for new opportunities, a sustainable career, support services, quality instruction, and structured programming, then we encourage young people and prospective employees to consider one of the 125 Job Corps center campuses
located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
