Wind River Job Corps

Job Corps offers solutions to some of the biggest challenges businesses face. It's a great opportunity for companies to boost the bottom line and hire entry-level employees with up to two years of training in a specific industry. Following are just a few of many benefits to working with Job Corps and hiring graduates:

With a ready pool of pre-screened, trained and motivated entry-level workers, hiring Job Corps students helps companies lower recruiting costs.
Employers can lower training and overhead costs by hiring entry-level employees who already have extensive training in a particular industry.
Trained in more than 100 career programs, Job Corps graduates are entering today's workforce with hands-on practical and certified skills in high-growth industries such as health care, information technology, automotive, and construction.
With today's changing skills and demands, centers can work with businesses to develop a training curriculum customized to a specific company's needs.
By hiring a Job Corps graduate, companies may be eligible for federal tax credits of up to $2,400 per employee.
Businesses can increase visibility with publicity on Job Corps' Web sites, articles and photos in nationally circulated newsletters, and signage on Job Corps campuses.
Employers can guard against current and future labor shortages by working with Job Corps to create pipelines of qualified, work-ready employees, reducing the cost of recruitment and training in the long-term.
