stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Ms Brown in phila job Corp is very direspectful,she yells and tries to embarass student and make them look *** for no reason. Picks on students being sneaking so they do not want to come back. Being mean and calling them out there name. She does this to students that willing to learn. She should be terminated from there. She does things on purpose so you can't get ahead.

Job Corps - Nurse Review from Troutdale, Oregon

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The medical staff is no good at springdale job corps. the nurse ruth ann is abusive.one time she screamed at me for 30 minuets.

she told me i smell like ***. Screamed at me about not doing my laundry even though in lakeside hall there's only 3 washers and three dryers for 30 people.at one point some traumatic things that happened to me and she screamed in a very condescending tone of voice. to "stop acting like a little victim" at one point she asked what i had for lunch.I couldn't remember because it's all not quite edible slop. She asked this over and over like she was the bad cop in an interrogation.

then she told me i do not have any mental illness even though it was in my file. then there was jessica anderson the person in charge of the "wellness" department.In september she put me on medical leave and was absolutely gleeful about sending me back to my family that i told her was horrible.Then in march she termed me and when I asked why she mumbled something about "on the floor".

jessica anderson is no better than a nazi.She dose not care whose lives she destroys in the name of following rules and is also a coward.Also in the dorms we had a lot of a cleaning chemical designed specifically to kill tuberculosis, which is scary because the dorms are so grungy and filthy we might catch tb. the moral of the sory is steer clear of springdale job corps.

I agree with you and understand what your going through I went to Miami Job Corps and they have done that to me and countless other students. They will put you on "Medical Leave" then when you jump through all the obstacles to return they lie and falsify documents and say you cannot return.

Its like they take pleasure in demeaning and ridiculing you. The whole wellness department is a JOKE. I had a medical emergency it took over a hour for the actual nurse Ms.Alice Jean Charles to come and then they did not want to take me to the hospital. My family member had to take me and when I returned the next day the Center Director Mary Geoghegan told be I didn't need to be there and to move off campus and go stay with my family instead.

If a medical emergency happens to you they will not call 911 another student or somebody off campus will have to call for you because the staff will not cause it cost the center money. Then they will try to intimidate you into being scared of the staff Mr. Leeks (Dean) threatened me when I made a report he lied and said it never happened.

I could go on about the horrible things that I have witnessed and that have happened to me but it would take forever. All Job Corps need to be shut down there is corruption from state to state, program to program.

I agree with you on medical. I was at Timberlake and Treasure Island.

My private doctor wanted to see me because of a lung infection and was told no. They refused to honor patient bill of rights and responsibilities and the need to know basis.

I was also raped by a staff member and a student and told that it was my fault and deserved it. I hope that all job corps get shut down.

Then stop smelling like an ***.

And you are making some serious accusations including personal libel.

You'd better watch it before you get served some court papers by a big company who has lawyers and an endless cash supply who will, absolutely, drive you into the ground.

Bold faced lie!

I applied for jobs corps back in November of 2016 and got accepted, was so excited about improving myself but my recruiter did nothing but lie to me in order to get me to apply. They said they were up to date facilities with wifi and even a swimming pool but when I got here it was nothing but a decommissioned, run down military base with no wifi, no pool and certainly no up to date facilities. From what I've heard the recruiters have quotas they need to fill and WILL lie to you to get you in, don't trust them unless you have nowhere left to go

And when I got here I was like wth this building is so old ! No wifi no tv no nothing !!

Guest

What location did you go to? I'm looking into job corps for my 17 year old because he is getting into trouble. I just want to make sure that he is safe and its a good environment....

Guest

"was so excited about improving myself "

And yet you allowed no WI-FI and a pool keep your from improving yourself.

Yeah, you may as well stay at home and continue to skuc at life.

Dig this kid, the real world isn't always going to have WI-FI and pools.

You want all that, learn a trade and earn the money to get it yourself rather than expecting it to be handed to you.

Hope you're not going.

That space could be filled with a real person looking to improve themselves instead of one who thinks they're going to the Hilton.

I was stationed at a Job Corps in Frenchburg, Ky were I was promised many things. The so called education program was out and out fraud.

We were bused from place to place and used as free labor for a union hall. We had inadequate food, were refused medical care, and were threatened daily with physical violence by the staff.

I was rebuffed by the police when I finally got access to a phone. I was a slave there for eight months and only escaped by walking back to Florida.

I was a student at the Denison job corps. Job corps is supposedly a " no tolerance for Any abuse physically nor mentally" . But I was physically assaulted by a student, harassed for weeks and got multiple threats made towards me. I made several reports on it showed proof and ended up leaving because I couldn't take it anymore. Nobody was helping me nor listening and I didn't feel safe. I didn't want this happening to anyone else mind you the boy has had several reports on him from 2 other girls so he should've been kicked out and now that I'm not there I've been trying my hardest to get my justice that I deserve and now everyone is acting clueless! Nor speaking for all job corps around the country but DONT ATTEND DENISON JOBCORPS. Staff does not care, a lot of injustice and the education is free for a reason ( because its improperly taught)

Former Instructor. It is a TERIBBLE place to work. Management especially the center director needs to be replaced. They can NOT about the students only getting them in, not about there overall success. They work the staff to the bones and have not given a pay raise in almost 10 years but I know management is probably getting raises and incentives each year. The love of teaching and the students kept me there for my short tenure. DOL really needs to replace MTC (subcontractor) they are running the place into the ground. PS. Largest trade (Nursing) currently only have 1 instructor. All others have quit or been terminated. This is not heresy either but FACTS.

Thanks for the reviews and I'm praying my experience isn't going to be bad. I'm sorry things like this has happened to many people who enrolled in Job Corps, and yeah; everything does look better on paper I assume.

Why are you giving them 5-Stars if you're just starting out and have no real idea what to expect. Strange.

But know this, their new "director" is the same Glad-handing user that ran Los Angeles Job Corps into the ground, before receiving this new appointment within Job Corps, but far away from the Los Angeles, California Nationally Spotlighted Job Corps Center. You might want to ask yourself why? Why would anyone leaves a Nationally Prominent position to take up the exact same position, but at a much smaller and obviously less prominent location in a small city, "out of the National spotlight", and especially for such a fake-smiling, glory seeker as your new director.

This was a Demotion!

LA Job Corps just cleaned house, and received an influx of new management, to go along with their brand new multi-million dollar facility.

Odd that your "New" director is no longer a part of that Nationally lauded restructuring.

I will say, there are some good instructors at many Job Corps sites, bit few, and they usually don't last long. They quickly get the overall Job Corps Mission Message: Which is to "keep the natives from getting restless" (read: committing crimes in the community), but its overall intent also seems to he to keep then down.

So you either become complicitous in this total Job Corps national (largely minority run) scam (and they are mostly cheating "Their own People"), by ripping off Tax Dollars for their bloated salaries (the Director and Managers that is, not the low paid teachers), and for a program that is just an endless revolving door to Nowhere "jobs"; or then you leave.

I have morals and values (which most entrenched Job Corps Staff totally lack (because most are unemployable themselves outside such a stilted structure, and as I said, especially the Directors and Managers), so I decided to leave. If I was truly looking for a real job training opportunity, I would never attend Job Corps. Some, few, succeed regardless, but it's a dead end street for far too many vulnerable young men and women. Sadly, too many are Court ordered into this Orwellian mess, and too many others (mostly homeless youth), have few other options; especially with the Kennedy Family so snowed, and bowled over, with the virtues of Job Corps, singing it's praises; and while literally knowing nothing about what they are saying, but only regurgitating what they are told is a "success" for political capital and National recognition for themselves.

Just sad. I do wish you well

I haven't been at this Center for very long, but I like it so far. I have been told that my Center is one of the nicer ones out there, and I think that the campus looks nice for what it's worth. There are some shady people here, but most individuals here are been very friendly to me. I like the staff here; most seem very helpful and act like they actually care about the students. Of course, there are some I have come across that aren't very fun to interact with, but that's life. I think that the Center could be managed better, especially when it comes to communication between staff and students. I have been misled a few times already, which is annoying. Overall, I would still recommend it.

Original review Jun 28, 2016
* If you're female, JC is not a good/safe place.
The center I lived at (Clearfield, UT) had a ratio of 1 female for every 8 males, and it was considered one of the more "diverse" campuses. Every other Tuesday were the days for new female students to arrive, so it was known as "New Booty Tuesday." Every NBT, the Residential Advisors had to force large groups of boys away from the bus stop where new girls were dropped off because they would wait to "call dibs on the cute ones." These mobs would also come into the Career Prep (classes you take within your first month there) classrooms uninvited for the same reason. I had experienced stalking/harassment/catcalling firsthand and it got to the point where I didn't want to leave my dorm. Several of my friends experienced worse; one roommate being told and asked extremely inappropriate things by a guy in class. When she told him to stop, the guy persisted and threatened her and started trying to pull her jacket off. She had to leave and hide in a bathroom. All of this happened with a teacher nearby. When she reported it, staff members completely dismissed it and told her "it didn't sound like that big of an issue." I encouraged her to go over their heads to Campus Security. CS told her because she knew him and hadn't called the teacher for help (hard to do when you're being threatened), they couldn't be sure she hadn't been a "participant" in some way, and that if they expelled him (the standard punishment for harassment), they would have to expel her too. She was forced to drop it. This guy finally got expelled, but for a separate incident that got outside police involved and was bringing negative attention to the center. He had a history of harassment, fighting, and drug use (all of which are supposed to be Zero-Tolerance offenses) but he got excused with a slap on the wrist every time.
* If you have health issues/prescriptions, JC is not a good/safe place.
I had prescriptions for daily meds that needed to be refilled often. The "Wellness Center" (sort of nurse's office) not only lost my file almost every time I needed something refilled, they argued in front of me over who would pull the file this time, tried to convince me I didn't REALLY need my meds, and at one point told me they wouldn't give them to me until I met with one of their doctors to "evaluate" me. They kept telling me they had an appointment set up but never did. Every time I asked about it, they would say they had it ready but that went on for about a month until I came in one day and told them I wasn't leaving until I got my meds. There was a different worker there that day that seemed surprised and apologetic and they magically came up with my meds. Another time I went in for Tylenol and they forgot I was there. I was left in the waiting room for more than an hour and a half in severe pain before they realized I was sitting there. I could fill a book with the horror stories me and other students dealt with.

Those are my biggest complaints, but there were a lot of problems.

I was a Cincinnati Ohio Job Corps employee from 1993-**** and trust I seen it ALL. Corruption, staff predators on students other staff, misuse govt funds by staff for private use, cover up of a student's murder I could go on an on.

A prominently Black center, mostly males a racist *** Center Dir who was transferred to sunny FL to live out his days and yet run another center??

fat when the *** hit the fan about his allowance and own participation in cover ups and wrong doings. They are TOTALLY about money only an I was ousted out being one of the major players and voices who spoke up against the daily mistreatment and racism portrayed upon male Black students at this center.

Loring Job Corps Center - LJCC Review- Save Yourself from the ***!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I enrolled in Job Corps around the end of October, it was the worst decision that I've ever made in my entire life. Like most here I'm not an "at-risk" youth. I come from a good home with great parents and a great life. I graduated high school with a 3.8 and got into 5/7 colleges I applied to. I even had a few scholarships to assist me. After doing college for a year and a half I came to the conclusion that it wasn't for me. So I then decided to fast track my way into the Health Field - what I was originally going to college for. I found a quick solution: Job Corps!

My Trade

Big mistake. The first thing that happened was when I came to center is I found out the program my recruiter said was here wasn't! I had been in her office for 3-4 weeks talking about Loring's LPN program and how I could finish CNA and go straight to LPN which was offered on campus. Its not there.

My mom calls her LIVID and she does a complete 180. "I never said it was on campus, I told her she could do CNA and then transfer to Pasadega for LPN". Complete B.S.!!!! I purposely accepted Maine because she said it was one of 2 that offered LPN (lie), had many off center activities (lie), and had smaller amount of people to a room (finally some truth)! I have social anxiety and would never agree to go to a Job Corps that's known for having gangs, has 4-6 people to one room, and is in such a *** city (NY) so I called her out on her BS.

Second thing was that the 3-4 month trade took 8(!) months. CNA back home costs $200-$450 to do and takes a month. I never did it there because it's a hard working, low pay job. If I had been told it would take that long, I would've stayed home and worked for that period and have gone STRAIGHT to college. After deciding to stay for 3-4 months for CNA, the BS began. The entire first month you're in CPP which basically means you do nothing. A loooooong orientation period where you sit around and talk to staff, read packets, and have a "graduation". During CPP you also shadow your trade, in that period I went to CNA and everyone was sitting around working on packets or on their phones.

When CPP finally ends I'm told there will be a 1 week wait until a new class opens up for me to start. 1 week goes by, and then a month, and then two months, and then its vacation. EVEN AFTER RETURNING FROM VACATION, WE STILL HAD TO WAIT A MONTH!!

I finally start my *** trade and its SLOW. The instructor doesn't know what she's talking about, the kids disrupt the class all the time, and when we finally get to do our on-hands our it takes 2x the amount of time. Thank GOD I finally finish, wasted my time for complete BS but glad I can leave.

Also there are only 3 trades on this campus that can give you a real job.

The Staff & Students

Staff sleeps with students! A lot, in my 8 months here 2 RA's have gotten fired for this and a third security guard was fired for groping some females. The other staff are annoying as all ***. They stay on your back and harass you for basically nothing. You're watched 24/7 like you're in a jail cell. The only time they seem to let up is when their bosses show up. Everyone here is incompetent or a liar. If you need help with something they KNOW they can't assist you with, instead of saying so they'll talk you in an endless circle or flat out lie to you. The students aren't much better. The IQ level here seems to be set at 30 and everyone is flips out. Understandably so, no one wants to be here after a while. I've seen kids get bludgeoned with a blow dryer, get hit in the head with a smoking canister, and get concussions from a combination lock. It's best to keep to yourself on this campus unless you want to befriend ignorant inner-city kids or back-country racist white ones. Not much in-between. Also it seems like only 40% of the student population showers daily. There are 3 boys to every one girl and they harass the *** put of everyone. There was also a period where 13 girls on campus, who came in NOT Pregnant, left with a bump. This center also has a tendency to bring back students who were terminated. Be it for fighting or another safety risk. The staff let a boy who'd recently killed his girlfriend back on campus, until the cops came for him.

Also don't ever get sick on this campus, wellness is B.S. The nurses never want to do anything to help students and their answer to all problems is to give out enough Ibuprofen to knock out a whale. I had bronchitis back in the winter and came in every day for a week with a temp of 102.+ and was sent back to class. On the 6th day of not eating or being able to breath I was finally sent to the ER.

The Food

It's ***. Everything is old, moldy, or will give you swamp butt. The cheesy eggs will rip your inside to shreds and a majority of the meat tastes like it's been soaking in its own bloody brine for days. there was one day where a group I was in had a off center trip to make and we went to the café to get our bag lunches, we had to wait 15 mins for them to be remade since the rodents had gotten to them. Also fruit flies and mold in everything. If you don't call them out on it they'll try to just take it out and reserve it! I've seen this happen twice with a container of moldy shredded cheese and fruit fly infested juice. However all these problems seem to disappear as soon as OSHA or COCA come in for an inspection.

The Campus

We're near a nature reserve so if you're into that kind of thing but there is absolutely nothing to do. AT ALL! They dangle these weekly Wal-Mart trips in your face so you can behave and do the excessive slave labor they require of you so you can spend the $23.01 you get every TWO WEEKS! Oh yeah, you work like ***. Every other week you clean up the dorm. Mopping floors, dusting, sweeping, taking out trash, picking up cigarette butts, etc.

And that's 23.01 if they don't tax you, give you a write up, or dock you for the 500 BS reasons they have. Also anything can stop you from leaving center. You're out past curfew (even doing chores), NO Wal-Mart. You leave your room 1 minute after 7:30, No Wal-Mart. You fall asleep and miss chores (which is 9:30pm and 11:30pm!!), No Wal-Mart. There was an entire month where I wasn't able to get soap because they kept failing me. There is also no service on center. Only US Cellular works and that barely works. During winter you're walking through ice cold un-plowed snow and your nose hair freezes. During summer you're attacked by mosquitos and will be lucky if you get a fan.

Over all this place is trash. Everyone keeps saying if you take it seriously it'll do a lot for you but that's a lie. I put in 150% into this place and got a CNA license out of it. I wish I hadn't wasted my time and I hope this review saves you some of yours.

Original Poster here!1. I'm black2.

Yes, I do come from a upper-middle class background but I've worked hard for everything I've gotten in my life. My parents don't pay or do *** for me which was why I decided to come to JC in the first place.3. I'm literally obese, lolIf you don't like the review, tough *** This place offers opportunities in exchange for government funding and that's great and all but they DEFINITELY need to shape up.You can't treat people without dignity and skimp on regulations just because you're assisting them. I have to admit, my review was a BIT over dramatic, I was in a pissy mood and decided to rant.I made a few good friends in the center and met my current fiance there.

Some staff were angels (RIP Mr. Al) and went out of their way to make things easier like RA Peggy and RA Shirley in the girls dorm. I found amazing instructors and used them as mentors. Mr.

Graham and Mr.

Rodney were life savers!!What I'm saying is the chance to do better for yourself is there if you're willing to work for it. I have a high paying medical job today because i was willing to put up with being undermined and the annoying structure that comes with this place.You'll do great if you push yourself, it will do wonders for your patience and future.

I can't get over how shallow selfish and snobby you sound.... Your a ugly person inside and probably out.

That program saves people every year, but it should be bashed because a spoiled rich girl didn't like the people or food? Honestly I couldn't help but laugh at you complaining about having to go outside....

You seriously need to reread what you typed out and seek help. I bet you have a eating disorder the way you love to freak the f out over absolutely nothing.

Lol,Is this Mrs. Kristie or Martie?Either ways, tough *** if you don't like the review.

I wrote what I wrote and a strangers opinion of me means LITERALLY nothing. How about you do better instead of being offended by it?"tHe PrOgRaM sAvEs PeOpLe EvErY yEaR"! You sound stupid. The program is not an entity - the government funds it and is rewarded for it's creation and number of attendees.

The program helps people with education and temporary shelter AT BEST. At worst it degrades people, ignores sick students, lies about opportunities to wrack up numbers, doles out Anti-Psychotics like candy, and a WHOLE lot of other negatives. Be honest for a second and step away from your emotions, at the risk of being treated like crap would you attend? Would you send your kids here?Also, where did I complain about going outside?

I literally state that I was stopped from exploring or going offsite for stupid reasons so????

And no, no eating disorder here, perfectly healthy actually. You don't need super powers to visibly see when food is spoiled.

You sound like a spoiled blonde brat... That program is more for people with learning disabilities and kids who gave up on their education, not just troubled young adults.

it's for people who want to turn their lives around and don't have the means or knowledge to do so. with that in mind of course the program is slow and all the trades you can learn will give you jobs, maybe not the kind of money daddy can give you but it's something...

YOU should have done the research especially with all the down time and vacation. Stop blaming the "recruiters" and grow up little daddy's girl

Its free, at the cost of it not being perfect. And it is what you make it. So sounds like you should've stayed your privilaged biased ignorant butt home

Hi. I went to Jobcorps from 12 to 13.

I agree with some of the things you are saying and some of the things I don't.

1. I was actually there when Christian killed his girlfriend and went back up the school, how was the staff suppose to know that he committed to that felony. Know one knew till months after the cops picked him up.

2. I was one of the girls that got pregnant up there and still with my kids father till this day. Even when I was pregnant I asked the center director to stay because I was so close to completing, so she let me. A lot of the mother's I knew that was pregnant up there are doing amazing.

And holding their own.

3. I honestly didn't care for jobcorps but one thing I got out of it was having a big jobcorp family. Ya we got into some *** drama I seen some terrible fights but others were close & were happy. I didn't like the food that's why there was 2 take out restaurants you could have ordered from.

The staff when I was up there wasn't that bad unless people were being dumb and starting problems that made them how they are right now. 4. If you had Mrs.Rhonda as your cna instructor, I'm sorry if she isn't what u seems but I loved her to death. She was an amazing teacher ,she helped helped me on so much.

If it wasnt for her I wouldn't of got my high school diploma or cna certification.

I'm just expressing me feeling towards it.

Ya some of it sucked but I have the best memories up there and made amazing friends. It wasn't so bad.

I went there too and it was fine. sounds to me like u are just being a critic, and love to expressed about *** that u dont like.

i was a high school dropped out. went there and got my vocation completion, driver license, high school deploma and GED.

i am not saying i love everything about the place, but i am not gonna sit here complaint about everything, cuz there were also lot of things good about the place. Seem like alot of problems were not the people and the place, it was just you that were the problem.

This place needs to have a warning lable before going here,

I went into this *** hole back in the 80's before we had the Internet, The person who conned me at the job service, That's how I found out about this, She made it sound like it was a good thing, a positive thing and she made sound so cool, That was a *** dirty lie. My experience was, It was nothing but a reform school, It was one step below being in the military, And one step above from being in prison, After your there 6 months, You get the chance to leave, They give you your bus ticket and go home for 14 days, But if you go back your stuck there until you graduate, And that could be another 12 to 18 months, At the end of my 14 day's I didn't go back, I did get a letter saying I was AWOL and had terminated my enrollment in the center, It was rough when I was there, I would hate to see how bad it has gotten since then,

Ha, I went there to Franklin NC to learn brick masonry but only learned how to try and survive in the hood! Dangerous to say the least. Not recommended for anyone
