Unsafe? “Data from a GAO report shows that students enrolled in Job Corps are: 3 times less like to experience a sexual assault than students on college campuses, 1.5 times less likely to experience an assault than their peers, 3 times less likely to die than their peers.” #KeepJobCorpsOpen 9/END

Infractions??? The DOL reports 14,913 “infractions,” but doesn’t explain that Job Corps sites are required to record and report infractions as minor as being late to class, using profanity, and untucked shirts. #JobCorps #KeepJobCorpsOpen 8/

Bad data: The DOL gives Graduation rate as 38.6%, but they’re looking at a period when Job Corps AND every school and college had COVID-era challenges. Grad rate is higher today. Additionally, 82% of Job Corps graduates have a job within 90 days of graduation. #JobCorps #KeepJobCorpsOpen /7

Empty promise? The DOL says it will work with “state and local workforce partners” to “assist” current students and connect them with “education and employment opportunities,” but ZERO details have been given. There’s ZERO accountability that they’ll deliver. #JobCorps #KeepJobCorpsOpen 6/

Bad data: Who picks up a call from a number they don’t know these days? Plus, if you're at work, in school, or in the military, you probably won't race to answer a phone survey from the DOL. #JobCorps #KeepJobCorpsOpen /5

Misleading: DOL gives as a reason for closure that graduates only earn an average of $16.7k, but that’s based on a post-graduation survey that reaches only about 5% of graduates. If a graduate isn’t reached, they’re recorded as $0. #JobCorps #KeepJobCorpsOpen /4

Not right: 20,000+ students will have until this Friday (June 6) to leave their residential Job Corps program. Many of these students are *homeless* without Job Corps. #JobCorps #KeepJobCorpsOpen 3/

America needs Job Corps training: Automotive and Machine Repair, Construction, Finance and Business, Healthcare, Homeland Security, Hospitality, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Renewable Resources & Energy, and Transportation. *This is a hand up, not a hand out!* #KeepJobCorpsOpen 2/
