ANGELL JOB CORPS CENTER
PART 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
The USDA Forest Service, Siuslaw National Forest, Angell Job Corps Center, located at: 335 NE Blodgett Road, Yachats, Oregon, is a residential, educational, and vocational training facility for students aged 16 to 24 years of age. The mission of our facility is to provide academic, vocational, and life skills training to our nation’s youth.
1.2 Background
Job Corps is a U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) program. Job Corps is designed to assist young people who both need and can benefit from the wide range of services provided at a Job Corps Center. Through its centers, Job Corps offers academic, vocational, and life skills training using a unique approach of competency-based, and individualized instruction. Services include:
basic education; High School Diploma (HSD) program, General Education Development (GED); vocational skills training; residential living programs; healthcare; and related support services. This comprehensive combination of training and support services are designed to help each student become a responsible and productive citizen.
100% of the students live full-time at the Angell Job Corps Center. The students attend classes at the center.
The Center has classroom facilities, a cafeteria, health services, recreational facilities and dormitories.
Students are provided allowances for personal expenditures.
Because Job Corps is a self-paced program, lengths of enrollment vary. Students may remain in the program for up to 2 years, but the average length of enrollment is approximately 9 months. An optional third year is granted for students who qualify for advanced training.
Upon completion of the program, students are better prepared to obtain meaningful employment or further their education through Job Corps sponsored Advanced Career Training (ACT) or college. Career transition services are provided to all students separating from Job Corps.
Student eligibility requires that all applicants must meet the following criteria to participate in Job Corps:
-Applicants must be at least 16 to 24 years of age.

CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND CHECKS
Pursuant to the spirit and requirements of P.L. 101-647, Subtitle E, Section 231, 42 U.S.C. Section 13041, the following applies:
The Contractor shall ensure that all individuals provided by or through the Contractor who have any contacts with children under the age of 18 undergo a Criminal History Background Check.
No additional staff persons other than existing staff may be provided by or through the contractor unless the staff person has successfully undergone a background check. If existing staff is insufficient to perform the contract, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing and request authority to hire additional staff provisionally until the completion of a background check. Background checks may be performed by third party investigative agencies. Such third party agencies must be approved or sanctioned by a state or federal law enforcement agency.
A copy of the Criminal History Background Check shall be provided to the COR.
Any conviction of a sex crime, an offense involving a child victim, or a drug felony, will be grounds for denying employment or dismissal of the employee under this contract. In the case of an incident in which an individual has been charged with one of those offenses, when the charge has not yet been disposed of, the contractor will replace that individual until the case is resolved. Replacement of the individual shall not create any additional cost to the Government provided the employee removed due to allegations is not required to remain on the NTC payroll. Conviction of a crime other than a sex crime may be considered if it bears on the individual’s fitness to have responsibility for safety and well-being of children.
Employment applications for individuals who are seeking work under this contract shall contain a question asking whether the individual has ever been arrested for or charged with a crime involving a child, and if so, a description of the disposition of the arrest or charge shall be required.
