Muhlenberg Job Corps student improves employability skills at WBL with Chamber

Muhlenberg Job Corps student Hannah Hamilton is putting the employability skills she has learned at Job Corps to use in a work-based learning internship with the Greater Muhlenberg County Chamber of Commerce. And in a win-win situation, the chamber has gained an intern with great office and people skills and a positive, can-do attitude.

Hamilton’s supervisor at the chamber, Executive Secretary Dorothy Walker, said, “I have been using students through the Work-Based Learning program for over 10 years.  They always come with good skills. Sometimes they just need a little encouragement to use and improve their skills.  Hannah is a great worker.  She has great office skills and is a great people person.  There is no job that she won’t attempt.  I also like the fact that she interacts so well with other members of the chamber.”

  
Hamilton, who is a top student leader at the center and has completed the Clinical Medical Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide and Medical Office Support career technical training programs at the center, has the goal of becoming a registered nurse.

She says Job Corps takes a holistic approach to preparing students for future careers. “Job Corps has not only helped me academically, it has also helped strengthen my leadership skills and life lessons.  My Work-Based Learning has helped me improve my communication skills and given me more experience in a workplace setting.  Job Corps is a great opportunity, and if anyone has the chance, they need to take it.”

Charleston Job Corps Center Director Curtis Price, a true champion of the Job Corps program

It is with great sadness that the Charleston Job Corps community notes the death of Center Director Curtis Price Jr., 63, on May. 30.

Price, a native of Charleston whose 27-year Job Corps career began at the Charleston Job Corps Center, returned to head the center in April 2012.

This past February, Price was among 24 honorees recognized at the Governor’s 10th Annual Civil Rights Day for “Advancing Civil Rights through Advocacy.”

During his Job Corps career he served as center director at six different Job Corps centers, including Charleston; Delaware Valley in New York; Westover in Massachusetts; Gary in Texas; Potomac in Washington, D.C.; and Penobscot in Maine.

Additionally, he has served as director of student support services and vice president of government and community relations for Management & Training Corp., a major operator of Job Corps centers.

Price began his Job Corps career at CJCC, serving as an employability specialist/job developer at the center. Prior to joining Job Corps, he served as the equal employment opportunity administrator for the state of West Virginia, Governor’s Office; director of the recreation program at Central Charleston Community College; and head men’s basketball coach at West Virginia State University.

Many in the Charleston community remember Price for his exceptional talent on the basketball court during the 1960s and early 70s.

He was a star player on the Charleston High School teams, including the 1968 state championship team coached by Lou Romano, and was named a Street & Smith's first-team All-American. Although he suffered a severe knee injury his senior year in high school that ended hopes of playing basketball professionally, he did go on to play three seasons for the University of West Virginia, averaging 7.7 points per game for his entire career there, and 10 points per game his senior year.  

However as important as his basketball career was to him, his education took a higher priority. Price earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education/social studies from WVU.

Price used basketball and his coaching experience to connect with students and staff at Charleston Job Corps, making a free-throw competition, with prizes for the winners, part of the center’s Monday business meeting.

Price’s wife noted that, despite his declining health, Price always maintained his focus on the success of the students and staff at the Charleston Job Corps Center.

Pete Calvo, president of Horizons Youth Services, which operates the CJCC, said, “Mr. Price has been a great champion of the Job Corps Program for many years, and will be deeply missed.” 

New National Director visits Cleveland Job Corps Center

The new national director of Job Corps, Grace Kilbane, visited the Cleveland Job Corps Center on May 23. Kilbane met with representatives of Serrato Corp., the operator of the Cleveland Job Corps; Horizons Youth Services, which is a subcontractor at Cleveland; and DESI, which was recently awarded the OA/CTS contract for Ohio.

During the meeting, the representatives and Kilbane discussed Job Corps funding, including the position and potential use of under-runs to forward fund contracts; the need to promote collaboration between the National Office and Job Corps operators to address challenges and promote continued improvement in the program; and placing a renewed focus on the mission of the Job Corps program.

The group also discussed strategies to promote the arrival of new students at the Cleveland center and at other Job Corps centers nationwide.

Following the meeting, Kilbane enjoyed lunch in the cafeteria and visited with student government representatives. She also visited various classrooms and spent time in the Clinical Medical Assistant class.  

The students and staff at Cleveland Job Corps Center thank Ms. Kilbane for visiting the center, and wish her well as she assumes duties as the national director of Job Corps.

Carl D Perkins Job Corps students partner with Disney character Wreck-It Ralph to teach bike safety

Carl D. Perkins Advanced Security Instructor Carl D. Wilson doesn’t just teach his students about security. He also teaches them to be innovative, volunteer and give back to the community, and this is exactly what the class has done. After completing a training course in mountain bikes, the class was given the task of designing a bicycle safety program for students ages 3-8. The class tackled this new project with enthusiasm and pride, and it showed when they presented the new program for the students at Allen Elementary on April 11.

Perkins security students came up with the theme from the Disney movie “Wreck-it-Ralph.”  The story line of Ralph always wrecking things and not being safe was perfect for the program because students wanted to make the program entertaining and yet educational for their young audience. 

As students Jeannine Wilson and Rashad Thompson opened the program by discussing and demonstrating how to wear helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads correctly, one of the young students quickly reminded Jeannine that she “didn’t buckle your helmet.” The program came to life when fellow movie character Vanellope von Schweetz and Wreck it Ralph made their appearance. While Wreck It wanted to ride with no safety gear, and no shoes on, Vanellope, Jeanine and Rashad corrected his “wreck it” and unsafe ways.

Teachers from the classes thanked the Perkins students for their wonderful new safety program and for bringing it to area schools.

The young students got to ask questions, and get their picture made with Wreck it Ralph and the other characters following the program.

The class visiting every school in Floyd County over the next two weeks to promote bicycle safety awareness among students and parents just in time for the upcoming summer vacation.  

Charleston Job Corps holds Suicide Prevention Training for student leaders

The Charleston Job Corps Center held an Adolescent Suicide Prevention and Intervention Training workshop for leadership students on April 8. Mark Mason, ASPEN trainer, conducted the workshop, which teaches students how to identify the warning signs of someone at risk for suicide.

Every 60 seconds a suicide attempt is made in America. One-hundred Americans commit suicide and 11 youth commit suicide each day.  In West Virginia, suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth. 

The Charleston Job Corps Center held this training for student leaders to give them information and training in dealing with peers who may be depressed as well as to help them recognize the warning signs of suicide. Mason stated, “If someone is going through something don’t laugh… don’t ignore. Talk to them and tell a trusted adult.” The training focused on three aspects of an easily-remembered acronym – ACT: A-Acknowledge, C-Care, and T-Tell. Students received pocket cards that listed the warning signs for a person at risk for suicide and the Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Pictured left to right, are student leaders Bobby Harrell, Shawn Murphy, Alazar Teferi, Adrianna Anderson, ASPEN Trainer Mark Mason, Shanae Brown, Tyrael Mosley, Detario Melton and Michael Hopkins.
