At Job Corps, our Academic Instructors play a unique role that goes beyond traditional classroom teaching. While many schools are beginning to adopt year-round schedules, we've always operated year-round to provide continuous academic and career readiness support. Our instructors teach in smaller class sizes within a self-paced model, giving students individualized attention and flexibility to progress at their own speed.

And while traditional teachers often invest significant amount of time grading papers and supporting extracurricular activities, Job Corps instructors dedicate their energy to personalized instruction and linking academics directly to workforce preparation.
