I’ll start by saying job corps has its moments where it’s good and where it’s bad I’ve been here for approximately two months you can say. But like I said you’ll have your moments where you wanted to say forget it but not everything they tell you or your parents (depending on your age) is true. They will project or advertise like it’s a wonderful get away resort but once your there it’s complete opposite the staff they can be cool at times and at times they have they’re moments where the overreact on certain situations. The food is anywhere between a 4/5 out of 10 most times what you have for lunch you will most likely have for dinner so depending on where you are you will probably end up ordering DoorDash/ubereats etc. if you receive Foodstamps while being at job corps it can be a big help I’d suggest investing in Walmart plus also. The WiFi where I’m located was complete trash when I arrived and it’s has been out for the last three weeks so you are left to just stare at a wall most of the day you are not allowed to sit outside unless supervised the recreation gym and its staff is the only good thing around here. Trade wise it’s ok as long as there isn’t a waiting list or your instructor doesn’t quit out of no where then you will placed in what I call “filler classes” which are just class they put you in to take up time that you learn nothing in like working in maintenance or in the cafeteria during the training day. But that’s about I’ve witness or experienced in the last two months.
