BACKGROUND

Job Corps is a no-cost education and vocational training program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor that helps young people ages 16-24 improve the quality of their lives by empowering them to get great jobs and become independent. The program annually serves approximately 60,000 youth on 123 Job Corps centers.

Established in 1964, Job Corps is currently authorized under Title I-C of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 and is administered by the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The National Office of Job Corps provides oversight of Job Corps centers conducted through its Regional Offices located in: Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; and San Francisco, California. Job Corps’ primary mission is to provide young adults with the tools necessary to attain meaningful jobs that lead to career growth.

Each Job Corps center has a health and wellness staff available to provide basic medical care to the student population. The Job Corps health and wellness program’s primary objective is to increase each student’s employability by establishing and maintaining the student at his or her optimal health level, along with prevention of accidents and injuries. This is accomplished through provision or coordination of health care including case management of chronic illness, promotion of self-management of health care, and through preventive health education to instill good wellness habits and prevent avoidable illness, injury and death.

Within 48 hours of the student’s arrival at the center, a cursory health evaluation is performed. Laboratory tests are a required part of the cursory health evaluation. Blood specimens are drawn for hemoglobin or hematocrit determination. These analyses may be done on center or by an outside laboratory. The same or additional specimens may be taken for sickle cell disease, and/or optional syphilis serology for analysis at an outside laboratory. A specimen to be analyzed for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody is taken on all entering students during the cursory inspection and is submitted to a nationally contracted laboratory for analysis.

A dip-stick type urine screening is done for sugar and albumin and additional tests are done in case of positive findings. Entering females have an immuno-chemical pregnancy test, Pap smear if indicated, and a test for gonococcial infection. A specimen for Chlamydia is sent to a nationally contracted laboratory for both males and females.

In addition, at the request of the center physician, additional laboratory tests may be requested on any student as an aid to differential diagnosis, observation, or treatment. If these additional laboratory tests are for HIV and Chlamydia, then the nationally contracted laboratory will perform the analysis.

Center Trainee Employee Assistance Program (TEAP)

In February 1992, Job Corps implemented a national program on biochemical testing, and alcohol and other drugs of abuse prevention and intervention. This policy requires:

Centers to conduct biochemical testing on all students within 48 hours of arrival on center, students who are later suspected of using alcohol and/or drugs, and students who have an intervention plan.

All students identified as intervention candidates to enter a planned program of periodic testing, counseling, and intervention and have a written intervention plan and behavioral agreement that addresses their individual needs.

Each Center Director to designate a core team of managers and staff to plan, coordinate, and monitor alcohol and other drugs of abuse AODA program activities, and to hire an AODA specialist full time.

The next priority was to increase the hours of the mental health consultant at each center so he/she might provide one hour per 100 students per week devoted entirely to diagnosis and counseling of students with AODA problems.

In May 1995, a Zero Tolerance policy for AODA was instituted (and amended in October 1997) which stated that:

1. All applicants will be advised by the admission counselor that Job Corps is drug free and will sign a certificate to that effect.

2. All students will be tested for drugs within 48 hours after entry.

3. Students who test positive on entry will be placed in the AODA program which provides assessment, intervention, counseling, relapse prevention, and education.

4. All students testing positive on entry will be retested so that the results will be received on or before the 45th day after entry.

5. All students retesting positive will be separated from the Job Corps program.

6. Students with behavior suggestive of alcohol use or intoxication, on center, will be tested on suspicion at any time, and may be separated at the discretion of the Center Director.

7. All specimens for drug testing will be sent to the nationally contracted lab.

In 2001, the AODA program was changed to mirror the workplace setting and to incorporate the employee assistance model. The AODA program was changed to Trainee Employee Assistance Program (TEAP). This program added an intervention period for students who had a negative drug screen on entry but later tested positive on a suspicious drug test. These students enter a 45-day intervention period where they attend TEAP sessions, along with group and individual counseling sessions. Before the end of the 45 day intervention period, the student is retested. If the test is negative, the student remains in the program and if not, the student is separated under the Job Corps Zero Tolerance policy.

Reports of drug testing show that in Job Corps Program Year 2017, 30.3% of students entering the program were positive for drugs with marijuana (92%) being the drug of choice. Of the 30.3% that tested positive on entry, 82% were drug free at the end of their 45 day probationary period. This information is needed so that center health staff may rapidly use it in the assessment of individual students to determine what services and/or interventions are needed and to what extent, and to measure the impact of interventions in reducing the use of such drugs since they interfere with education and training and are damaging to health.

OBJECTIVE

To provide the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Job Corps with clinical laboratory testing services for drugs of abuse, testing and identification of students, who may have genital infections due to Chlamydia, and testing and identification of students who may have been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
