I see so many reports on how badly staff is treated at job corps centers. I would love to see a report and review on how students are treated as well.

My son has been in Windriver Job Corps since November 2015. He is a good Christian kids who was raised to respect other and do right. All the staff I have ran into and spoken too have told both me and my husband what a good kid he was and they liked him being part of the team. However, some of the hire up staff who get to make the rules go to far.

They choose their favorites and make everyone else's life miserable in the process. My son was doing great, he was vice president of his dorm, he was moved to a different dorm for good bahavior, he is respected by the staff he works with and the other students and has made many friends on the way. Just recently he got on some ladies bad side who was recently promoted and is now making his life a living ***. He had a friend who he like to hang out with and he got in trouble for hugging.

What the heck???? It is not making out just hugging in public. Then he was threatened he would be written up if he was seen hugging, touching, or smiling at anyone. He was then told he could no longer see his friend and they are all devastated.

Another insistent was one one was allowed to go off campus for a weekend pass and the passes had to be requested on Sunday the week before and no later. This rule was implemented just a few days ago with no earring to any of the students. One time they made the students pay Job Crops back from going home on Christmas which Job Crps was supposed to pay for the plane tickets for all the students. So when the students returned to job corps their weekly pay of $25 was withheld until the plane tickets were paid back in full.

This left the students mindless and not able to buy personal hygiene products or have a weekend pass or to purchase necessities needed. There was also another incidence where some students got hurt. One slipt on ice, one fell and hurt his leg, etc. And job corps so call health and wellness is supposed to pay for medial treatment etc and nothing was done.

They would not even take the students off campus to get them checked out by doctors. I think this program could be an awesome program for those who need it if it was able to run correctly and take the kids best interest at heart. Being a preschool teacher, director for at risk teens and working with kids on the streets and in the foster care system. I have seen alot.

If you show these kids respect, someone cares about them and how they can trust you These centers would be a great place to help the youth with the proper training for all staff members. These centers do not need jail wardens or people with an additude they need people who know what their doing, who care and want to make a difference.

Who follow the Job corps handbook that is written for a reason and not just because they want to make up their own rules. I hope someone comes up with a way to support the students and not just the staff because some staff are more of the problem than the students.

I forgot to mention any time you had a concern and called your recruiter like you should they never returned your calls or helped you fix an issue. They are not in it for helping students it is just another pay check to them.
