For more than 40 years, Job Corps has led America as one of the most successful job training programs nationwide, meeting the needs of high school graduates and those without a diploma who have the desire to embark on a successful career path. In Program Year 2005, Job Corps implemented a new initiative called STARS (Speakers, Tutors, Achievement, Retention, and Success) to motivate students to strive for excellence by providing them with real-world examples of success. The goal of STARS is to increase student academic achievement, as well as career skills attainment and retention, placing graduates on a path to a solid and sustainable career. The annual report discuses the history and operation of Job Corps, student services, outcomes/costs with a 5-year performance summary, and includes a center directory and regional maps.
