DIGEST : This resolution memorializes the Legislature's
support for Congressional action to reverse the suspension of

have been exhausted, and to maintain the full range of
educational and employment services provided by the Job Corps.

California's program the largest in the country. Combined
economic activity stimulated by the Job Corps centers in
California is $243,726,519 and 2,971 local jobs have been
created.
2.Job Corps centers are a vital component of California's
workforce development system by providing high school
diplomas, career technical education, and related social
skills. Following their time in the Jobs Corps, graduates are
ready to obtain and hold a job, enroll in advanced training,
attend college, or enter the Armed Forces.
3.Recent decisions of the United States Department of Labor to
implement a 93 day suspension of new student enrollment and a
21% reduction in funding for future enrollments appear to be
inequitably balancing a budget shortfall on the backs of the
disadvantaged youth it is entrusted to serve when other
alternative are available for closing the shortfall.
This resolution memorializes the Legislature's support for
Congressional action to reverse the suspension of new student
enrollments in the Job Corps Program, to prevent any limits to
student enrollment until other cost-saving measures have been
exhausted, and to maintain the full range of educational and
employment services provided by the Job Corps.
