        Enrolled Job Corps students will earn academic credit hours during the program.
        Terra State has partnered with the Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) to provide free tuition for career technical training. Career Coaches will provide intensive personal and career counseling services to support and facilitate completion of the program.
        Employment counseling services also will be provided, including a 12-month follow-up period of employment services which incorporates assistance in enrolling into an apprenticeship program and/or job placement.
        In addition, Job Corps Scholars will receive $6,000 tuition reimbursement, student support services, Job Corps Scholars uniforms, paid work experiences, limited housing assistance and food vouchers for any student who has food insecurities.
