Anyway, the program is a load of propaganda from the get-go. Students are allowed to be themselves, as long as it fits the framework that Job Corps is comfortable with. Since they have a zero tolerance policy, many students are kicked out for having a drink with dinner, even if they're over 21. Also because of the zero tolerance policy, there is a drug problem. Shocking, I know. When I was there, people were sneaking pot onto campus, just to see what they could get away with. If it wasn't pot, it was mushrooms, alcohol, or pills. I saw plenty of students go because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I saw plenty more go because they chose to flagrantly break the rules time after time. I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have rules against drinking and drugs on campus; I'm saying the zero tolerance policy has to be reconsidered, because it doesn't work.
The staff try to instill in the students a sense of work ethic, and it works, to a degree. Students either get with the program and learn how to obey, or they are sent packing. Because it is a program for students ages 16-24, this results in a large turnover rate.
The staff at Jobcorps are very unorganized and the students are very unfriendly.
Am gland that I went to Burdick job Corp because they help me to get my high school diploma which made my dream come true. I am student in Mstate college preparing my degree as Medical lab technician. I really want to thanks the all the staff that treat me as their child and help me my goal. I would say that there is no "future without Burdick job corps"
I attended eight years ago. I wouldn't say it was a mistake, because I learned valuable skills that I will take with me for the rest of my life, but I do wish I had gone to college instead. I went to Job Corps because I thought it was my only option. Because I was 18 at the time, I didn't have much experience to indicate otherwise. To me, my options were: Job Corps or the military. Considering I hated the Bush administration, and I wasn't willing to risk my life for a cause I couldn't get behind, I chose Job Corps.
Now I am grateful I went to Job Corps don't get me wrong. But when I graduated and got my diploma. It looked like something you give a Kindergartner for completing the class and going to the 1st grade. I put my blood, sweat and tears into get my graduation certificate and I get this thing? I am ashamed to put it on my wall next to my High School Diploma.
My wife is pregnant and going here and she gets disrespected by her peers and the staff wont help her at all. I believe this place to be worthless and disrespectful.
Overall, I would say that if your only options are jail, juvenile detention, or Job Corps, definitely pick Job Corps. However, if you're freshly graduated, want to go to college, and have big dreams about the future, don't settle for this indoctrination. Community college or trade school will give you more without stripping you of your freedom.

The programs themselves are fine, and facilitated by individuals who care. I was in the culinary arts program, and learned more about cooking than I could ever put into words. Unfortunately, the culinary arts program did not prepare me for the fast paced environment of a kitchen. I had to learn speed, efficiency, and sense of urgency on my own.
