Behind every student who finds direction is someone who helped them get there.

Champion Student Success & Culture

Serve as an active member ensuring case management and success teams are effective systems for student success.

Represent, Collaborate & Uphold Integrity

Follow all integrity guidelines and ensure strict confidentiality of sensitive information and student data. Develop community linkages for education, employment, Career Technical Training, and Work-Based Learning, and build meaningful relationships with elected officials that promote a positive image of the Center and Job Corps.
