'Pause' at Denison Job Corps
- In 2025, the Department of Labor will suspend new student admissions and begin closing nearly 100 Job Corps centers nationwide, following guidance from the Trump Administration.
- This decision followed the Department citing low graduation rates and cost concerns, despite Job Corps' 60-year history of serving vulnerable youth with vocational training.
- Centers from Alaska to Alabama have closed abruptly, sending students away mid-training with no alternatives, and prompting legal action to block the shutdown.
- Since its establishment in 1964, the program has delivered training to over two million young people aged 16 to 24 and generates more than twice the amount of taxpayer funding in benefits for every dollar invested.
- Advocates and bipartisan members of Congress demand Congress restore funding and halt closures, warning that ending Job Corps will harm youth and worsen workforce shortages.
