Career development and services begin with the admission process. The Outreach Admission/Career Transition Services offices are located in the Workforce and One Stop Centers throughout Kansas. Admissions Counselors will meet with eligible applicants to assess career needs and goals for possible enrollment into Job Corps. Information gathered while visiting our outreach/admission counselors is critical in beginning each student's Personal Career Development Plan.
