"Trump Says He Wants to Fund More Trade Schools. Just Not These.
The Job Corps program has long been the subject of debate, but it is now also a point of contention in the administration’s efforts to pull back the social safety net.
Late last month, the Labor Department sent a letter to dozens of Job Corps centers across the country. Its message was blunt.
'You are hereby notified that the subject contract is being terminated completely,' the department wrote. 'You shall begin immediately all work necessary to provide a safe, orderly and prompt shutdown of center operations.'
The instructions threw into jeopardy the future of Job Corps, a Great Society-era job training program designed to help low-income young people enter the work force. Many of the program’s students do not have a high school degree or are homeless. Most live, free of charge, in dorms on Job Corps campuses and learn trades in construction, automotive repair, health care and the like. Its defenders claim it offers a lifeline to disadvantaged youths — some 25,000 are served at the 99 centers told to shut down — and provides an on-ramp to employment.
But the Labor Department published a 'transparency report' in April that showed something else: low graduation rates and swelling costs. Using those shortcomings as justification, it ordered a 'pause in operations' at the 99 Job Corps centers that are operated by outside contractors."

Whacking #HeadStart and #JobCorps isn't blind slashing. Like the NIH and NSF indirect cost caps and the broader attack on higher ed, the goal is to end economic upward mobility. #Project2025 in action. Screwing poor people, especially poor non-white, non-straight, non-male, and non-cis people.
The Fash want people like me to own and run everything. Or, well, maybe not exactly like me... -
