I was on campus in clearfield 1999/2000. In an environment with so many troubled youth, it can be hard to get on with your school and trade. You have to be the one to make the decision to be there for a good reason or to just be there! This is an amazing program and many kids could benefit from it if they only knew these resources existed. It took me getting into trouble and having a court order to find out Job corps. was a thing. I had some AMAZING teachers and staff while I was there. Bill Ghelling, the auto2 instructor was an amazing man and if I could I would visit him! I don't work in the auto field, but I do all my own work on my cars and some friends and families cars. Signed Michael Wayne

Do NOT I repeat do Not allow you kids to go here. They are treated like prisoners. They are stuck in their rooms with only a 20 min break during the day to go outside. The meals ( if they even get one) are extremely disgusting. They are not allowed to leave or have visitors at any point. They come into the rooms at night to make sure the kids are sleeping and they are in trouble if they aren’t. They are not allowed any entertainment while in their rooms. This place is worse then jail and has caused several kids to slip into depression. We will be taking this to the news and getting lawyers involved
I attended June 1993 (turned 17 my 2nd day there) to May 1994. Basically my senior year of high school. I was one of those "troubled" kids that had to chose jail or job corps. In the first 2 months I completed their required courses, world of work and others, G.E.D prep (also attained my G.E.D.) after I chose the carpentry program for my trade. Was able to build a few projects on campus, as well as rebuild the ranger station on Antelope Island. With determination and hard work I finished the carpentry program in 9 months. Made great connections with many people. And have even ran into a few back home in the years since. After many years of miscellaneous jobs ( costom houses, roofing, concrete foundation, apartment maintenance) I needed to do more. With the same drive I had back then, I went through the union ironworker apprenticeship 2002 -2005. Was 2 points away from apprentice of the year as well as (see pic) the first apprentice ironworker in denver to build a skyscraper in 30 years. Point I'm making??? You can use this opportunity as the foundation to a huge successful career and life..... if you WANT it!!! I say YOU CAN DO IT !!!
I graduated from Clearfield Job Corps in February of 2002. This place is mostly for dropouts and delinquents. When I was there there were fights almost daily, mostly in the dorm rooms which were 8 people to a room. It's like being in juvenile hall, but with a lot more freedom. There were weekend trips that you could go on if you were phased up. Phases were like an honor system. When you first get there, you are phase 0, and after a month or so you phase up to 1 then depending on your behavior etc you could be phased all the way up to honor 4 I believe was the highest. Being high phase meant you could get weekend passes if you were over 18, and you could sign yourself in and out of the center during free times. The center did a lot to try to reward us and keep us busy, but there were a lot of kids that were there for the wrong reasons, just being trouble makers and not taking the training seriously. Besides the free housing, free food, and free education, you were able to work on center doing various jobs for minimum wage. Again, based on phase. They also gave you like 1600 dollars once you graduated, and part of the graduation requirements was that you had a job ready to go to, which they helped you find. So if you take it seriously, stay busy and behave yourself, you can come out of this program with a high school diploma, and a trade. It's a great program, and I definitely recommend it. Just don't take any bull and mind your business. You'll be ok
I came here in 1964 and graduated in 1969 I dated this handsome guy who attended Job corps at the time his name was Bob Beck jr little did I know he was a total air head he cheated on me with 3 girls in the same week I am now doing better off without that air head I have my bachelors in computer science and I just wanted him to know his armpits stink
I really wish they would open the center back up. Alot of these kids are getting tired of, if not at the point where they don't even want to go back because they are tired of waiting. ALL OF these kids, Job Corp or not CAN NOT properly learn everything online.
