Training Area:
Facilities Maintenance
Quashyne trained in facilities maintenance, and while in the program, he completed an internship at an apartment complex. As Quashyne finished up his internship, the vice president of AJPC Management contacted the Wilmington center looking for qualified graduates to fill an open position. Quashyne was recommended for the job and was hired four days later as a facilities maintenance technician.
Training Area:
Culinary Arts
Gabe had a hard time finding work until his twin sister told him about Job Corps. The skills he gained in Job Corps’ culinary arts program—cooking and baking techniques, calculating measurements, inspecting and cleaning food preparation areas, and more—are what inspired him to work in the culinary field and get to where he is today. He is now the youngest chef at a fish and steakhouse restaurant.
Training Area:
Office Administration
Amber trained in office administration and received multiple certifications, including Key Applications, Living Online, Computing Fundamentals, and Microsoft Office Specialist. After completing her training, Amber enlisted in the U.S. Army. Once she completes her service, she plans to go back to school to study early childhood education.
