Get Hawaii Job Corps Center - It Takes An Ohana - Ittakesanohana

Because Job Corps is a voluntary program, students choose to enroll in the program and may exit at any time.

Articles of clothing with offensive wording, large amounts of jewelry, or items that promote drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or violence are not allowed. Many centers require students to wear uniforms during the training day.

Once these COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, Job Corps will provide you transportation to and from home for your initial trip to the center, during the winter and summer breaks, and for your return trip home when you leave the program. Any other trips home must be arranged and paid for by the student.

Hawaii Job Corps Center serves both residential and nonresidential students, but most of our student population lives on campus. Please check with your admissions counselor for details.

Depending on the career area you choose and the learning pace you set for yourself, training can take from eight months to two years to complete. Job Corps recommends that you remain on center for at least one year to gain the knowledge and social skills needed for your new career.

Most centers offer separate male and female dormitories. Depending on the center, you can have anywhere from one to eight roommates. Job Corps values diversity and will provide you with opportunities to live and interact with people of many different backgrounds.

Job Corps also offers career planning, on-the-job training, job placement, residential housing, food service, driver's education, health and dental care, a biweekly basic living allowance, and a clothing allowance.

The Job Corps application process typically takes between 3 and 5 months. As enrollment resumes, potential students may experience a longer wait based on open slots at their respective centers.
