Real world skills: Trapper Creek Job Corps prepares students with marketable vo-tech trades By JENNY JOHNSON, Ravalli Republic, MT
Bailey is one of two union carpenters at the Trapper Creek center who provides training in a variety of trades from culinary arts to masonry. He spotted Roberts at a cattle show and suggested he enter the program.
'He was a smart kid and a very hard worker,' Bailey said.
Roberts was a high school graduate who wanted a trade and didn't have any money to buy training at a school, Bailey said. So he got it from the federal government.
Trapper Creek Job Corps is one of 118 centers across the U.S. that assist students from the ages of 16 to 24 in acquiring career skills and entering the workforce. The centers attract a diverse group of students, including those who have gotten 'off track' either with school or the law and those who want to learn a trade in order to live independently.------------------------------------------- posted 6:07 AM :: reference link ::
