The Value of Student Leadership National Director Remarks Your volunteer service generates Job Corps pride. Reading To Lead and Y2Y share a leadership focus. Leadership and mentoring will drive your career.

Look for Opportunities To Lead National Director Remarks Take time to look for leadership opportunities. “How can I improve myself?” “How can I improve those around me?” Develop a habit of improvement. Leadership roles do not always come with a title.

The Value of Student Leadership Job Corps prepares you for a career by focusing on three aspects of your life: Academics Career Technical Training Career Culture

What Is Career Culture? Academics and CTT are prescribed for you. Once you get a job, how do you keep it? And advance? There is seldom a “How to get a promotion” checklist. Your “Career Culture” will help your career grow. Everyone’s Career Culture–and career–is different. Job Corps offers different leadership opportunities.
