That’s what I was told. I grew up partially in DC and was told that although there was no specific program The government would hire a job corps grad for some low level job Because it was designed to find people workGeorge Foreman and at least one of the Wayans brothers got their lives turned around in JC. There was fukkery to be honest, but if you were focused it could set you up well.
So businesses were given incintives to hire and if that didn’t work the local or federal government would hire you.
