Corps Center.)
Two Job Corps centers operated by Horizons Youth Services
were named Gold Star centers at the National Job Corps Association Policy Forum
Feb. 6-8 in Washington, D.C.
The Muhlenberg Career Development Center in Greenville, Ky.,
and the Sacramento (Calif.) Job Corps Center both received the highest award
for Congressional and community educational and outreach efforts during 2011.
Only 49 of the 125 Job Corps centers nationwide received this honor.
Business & Community Liaisons Gary Jones of Muhlenberg and Brian Broadway of Sacramento spearheaded the Congressional and community educational and outreach efforts for each of their centers.
HYS President Pete Calvo praised both BCLs and their centers for their “tireless efforts in educating both members of Congress and their communities about the outstanding work their centers do to provide quality educational and job training opportunities for their students. Additionally, both of these centers have tremendous economic impacts on their communities – both in terms of the people they employ and the many businesses they partner with. Job Corps really does work – for the students we serve, for the communities in which we are located, for employers who hire Job Corps graduates, and for taxpayers who invest in the future by investing in our youth.”
This is the 9th consecutive year that Muhlenberg has earned the Star Program’s Gold Star award, and the fourth consecutive year that Sacramento has earned the prestigious Gold Star.
