The Miami Job Corps Center has immediate availability to safely house, feed, and educate qualified applicants and place them directly into employment in the community.
At the Miami Job Corps Center, they have the capacity to serve 300 students, ages 16-24, in areas such as Construction Pre-Apprenticeships, Advanced Electrical, Culinary Arts, Health Occupations and several others. In addition, the campus works directly with local and national employers to help them fill in-demand and well-paying positions.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced the number of students the Miami Job Corps Center has served over the past year and a half. But with effective vaccines and continued safety precautions, the center now is ready to expand its training opportunities.
“We are incredibly excited that our campus has expanded our training opportunities and are eager to bring in deserving young people and help them start their careers,” said center director Mary Geoghegan. “With a long track record of successfully placing our graduates into meaningful careers in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties and beyond, we want our community to know that Job Corps is a terrific first option for any interested young person.”
The Miami Job Corps Center has demonstrated its ability to house and serve students safely and effectively despite COVID. The Center has protocols and policies in place to track COVID symptoms, test, and prevent an outbreak.
“The past two years have been trying for all of us. This time has also shown us that Job Corps dedication to teaching trades to young people has made a big difference not only in the lives of our students and their families, but in the lives of Americans reliant upon the work Job Corps alumni have been trained to do,” said Byron V. Garrett, CEO and president of National Job Corps Association. “Given our availability to immediately serve students, we know the potential for our campuses to transform lives and want everyone to know that Job Corps is reopened and ready to help.”
