Why Work for Woodland Job Corps Center?

Our Center is dedicated to giving young people the tools needed to be successful in the workforce. With every new student enrolled on our center, is an opportunity to lessen bad habits and strengthen their independence and work ethic. It is a collaborative effort to get each student past the threshold of this program, from the food service worker that remembers what a student likes to eat for breakfast, to the RA that remembers that a student doesn't like the light turned on first thing in the morning, to the safety advisor who de-escalated a student when they were on the brink of making a poor decision. Everyone on our campus has a hand in ensuring that our students get what they need, whether it resonates now or later.
