SCOPE OF WORK

Water/Waste Water Plant Operator (Substitute) Services Part I: General Information

1.1 Introduction

The USDA Forest Service, Ozark/St. Francis National Forest, Cass Job Corps Center, located at 21424 N. Hwy 23, Ozark, Arkansas is a residential, educational, and vocational training facility for students aged 16 and not yet 25 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 is designed to help each student become a responsible and productive citizen.

Approximately 100 percent of the students live full-time at the Cass 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.

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.
