business.”
The cost of the 106 programs
nationwide is $650 million annually,
but compared to the cost of incar-
ceration, the investment per student
in a Job Corps program is much
cheaper.
“It would cost four or five times
as much money to house an individ-
ual in a jail that it would to put a
person through a Job Corps pro-
gram,” Kanjorski stated. ‘‘Maybe
you won’t be able o see the effects
right now, but by the turn of the
century approximately 1% million
people will be trained and be pro-
ductive citizens because of the Job
Corps.”
The operation, which is adminis-
tered by the Department of Labor,
helps youths 16-21 years of age who
are out of school, unemployed or
lacking job skills, with the entire
program taking six months to two
years to complete, depending on the
progress of the individual.
‘What we are dealing with is the
leftovers,’ Lerner said. ‘‘These
people are not criminals and they
are not bad individuals. But when
they come here a lot of them are
borderline. Ninety-nine per cent of
these kids have been told they are
stupid or bad at some point in their
lives for various reasons, and after
a while they start to believe it. And
that doubt prevents them from
learning.
“We have an intense two-week
orientation period and the first thing
attitude to what works for them and
what at doesn’t. We don’t tell them
what is right and what is wrong.
But, for example, if a person steals
they know they can go to jail. So, if
they want personal possessions, a
house, a car, a family, they know
stealing is not the way to go about
attaining those goals.”
Aside from the educational and
vocational training the Corps pro-
vides, participants (210 men and 108
women) are also instructed socially.
“We have to prepare these people
so they can adjust to life in the real
world,” Lerner explained. ‘“‘A lot of
these kids don’t know what a check-
book is, or how to wash their
clothes, or how to pay bills. We
have to teach them.
“They are responsible for the
maintenance of their dormitories
and they are inspected every day.
And they are proud of what they are
doing. They want to show you what
they have done.”
Lerner says, from a staff point of
view, working at the center is
rough, but that the effort is worth it.
“When a kid drops out of here,
and it does happen, you feel very
disgusted with yourself. You wonder
if there is anything more you could
have done to prevent it. But when
you hear from people that have
graduated and have made it in the
world, it gives you a good feeling.
That’s when you know the program
is worthwhile.”
Workers
(Continued from page 1)
work the Corps workers have
done.
“We wouldn’t have this (horse
barn) completed without their
help,” Hillman noted. ‘And they
are very dedicated. Some of
these kids come to work here on
their days off. That tells you
something about their charac-
ter.”
Tony Bruno, carpentry instruc-
tor, who has been with the Corps
for nine years, oversees the work
and has high praise for his crew
members.
“These kids get up at 6 a.m.,
eat brakfast, get on the bus and
are here by 7:30,” the 60-year old
Old Forge resident said. ‘‘They
usually put in about six hours a
day and they work very hard.”
Bruno says some of the people
he gets are not even familiar
with a screwdriver or a pair of
pliers, but through practice at
the center and the on-the-job
training, many turn out to be
competent workers and go on to
successful careers in their area
of skill in the outside world.
Sarah Showl, 21, of Mountain-
burg, Arkansas, says she joined
the Job Corps after moving in
with her grandmother in New
Albany and has learned a great
deal from the program. “I didn’t
have a job back home so when I
came here I joined the Corps. At
the end of September or early
October, I‘m going to be placed .
in a job in Florida.”
Bruno says corps workers have
to be 18 years of age before they
can ke placed int a job and have
to be associated with the pro-
gram 12 to 14 months before they
become certified. He says the
Corps is not currently working on
any other projects, but may have
another coming up in Pittston.
The Center has already done
work at Sullivan County High
School, groundskeeping at the
Benton Rodeo and benches for a
park in Dushore.
Hillman says he would like to
continue using Job Corps work-
ers for years to come, but that it
would depend on whether the
center would like to continue
providing their services.
“We are expanding more and
more every year,’ ‘Hillman
explained. “We need the help.
Last year we had about 70,000
people. This year we are expect-
ing 120,000 ta:140,000.”" :
The Red Rock facility is oper-
ated by Management and Train-
ing Corporation (MTC) of Ogden,
Utah, which also operates 13
other centers and is currently the
No. 1 contractor in the country.
