For almost 60 years, Edison Job Corps has been preparing the next generation workforce through its tuition-free education and vocational training program. 

Job Corps is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor and works to help low-income young people ages 16 to 24 improve the quality of their lives through vocational and academic training.

“We are committed to offering all students a safe environment where they can take advantage of the resources provided,” said Nitya LeoGrande, services director for outreach/admissions & career transition services. “We provide students with training and the structure they need to prepare for a job.”
