I've been told by a number of electricians and plumbers that the Union

Employers, students, the labor dept, and hopefully the Unions

Job Corp to provide proper training or job placement for grads.


You really are an ignorant a**hole, Reggie. In the construction trades,
the purpose of the job corps is to provide unskilled, undisciplined kids
with a few decent life skills and preliminary job skills so they know
the importance of showing up for work on time, sober, and with an
attitude conducive to work. The job corps provides pre-apprenticeship
training, and a bit of a taste of the sort of skills they'll be learning.

Do you actually know anything about anything, or is your knowledge base
built entirely upon what you google?

One summer working at McDonald's or Burger King will teach than those
basic job skills.
