C.1 GENERAL

A. Background

Job Corps is a national residential training and employment program administered by the U.S.

Department of Labor to address the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth throughout the United States.

Job Corps provides comprehensive career development services to students including academic, career technical, career success and independent living skills, career readiness training, and support services. The unique combination of services provided in Job Corps is intended to prepare youth to obtain and hold gainful employment, pursue further education or training, or satisfy entrance requirements for careers in the Armed Forces.

B. Objective

The Contractor shall provide enrolled youth, meeting Job Corps’ eligibility or admission requirements, with a comprehensive range of career development services leading to employment and long-term attachment to the workforce.

2) Provide basic health care, counseling, and other support services as required by the PRH.

3) Conduct program operations in a setting that is clean, well maintained, and safe.

4) Assist youth in obtaining employment, additional education or training, or entry into the

In addition, the Department reserves the right to pursue legal action or otherwise seek relief against any Contractors exceeding 103-percent Contract Year average.
