Community Outreach

By establishing strong relationships with community and workforce groups, you can spread the word about Job Corps, create a stronger recruitment pipeline and develop partnerships in your community. The Community Outreach toolkit includes materials to help build and maintain relationships with students who either work with prospective students (such as foster care agencies or school counselors) or may support training and employment opportunities for students.

Career Fairs

This type of event strives to connect soon-to-be Job Corps graduates with employers looking to hire and fill open positions. A career fair is ideal for centers who have a large or fairly large population of students who are graduating soon.

Career Training Expos

The goal of this event is to highlight/showcase your center’s different hands-on training programs by inviting local employers and community leaders to see your students in action.
