"Since its inception in 1964, Job Corps has helped to open doors of opportunity to nearly 2 million disadvantaged young women and men. Above all, Job Corps offers hope to young American workers that they will be able to equip themselves with the tools necessary to succeed in their careers."

President George W. Bush

"Job Corps is so much more than just a job training program. It gives our young people a range of opportunities they may otherwise not have."

Senator Johnny Isakson (Georgia)

"Job Corps provides important training which allows an individual to become a productive member of society. By giving unemployed and undereducated youth the knowledge and skill they need to be self-sufficient, we give them the key to determining their own bright future"

Senator Arlen Specter (Pennsylvania)

"This is a great program that not only maximizes its resources but also enhances the quality of life for our young people. It is a program that is deserving of the support of the communities in which it operates and the federal government."

Senator Orrin Hatch (Utah)

"Job Corps is an important education and job training program for youth who do not see a future for themselves through traditional means."

Senator Mike Enzi (Wyoming)
