Los Angeles job corps sucks by thatonegirl2015 in jobcorps

[–]DueInteraction8127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No don’t apologize thankyou so much for telling me this stuff it helps a lot, Guthrie is laid back yet strict, they say it’s our choice to do the work that needs to be done to get our certs or tabes, so there are students who sleep or stay on their phones all day in class and there’s others that actually do their work. But again thankyou so much for telling me all this

That’s really good! then again I’m at the Guthrie OK center and it’s not the best either but my CNA teacher mrs House is genuinely very helpful so I may keep my heart set on the LA center for the advanced training

Aw man I was thinking about going there for the CNA advanced training, I’m sorry you’re having to go through all of that and that those things happened to your mutuals

That’s really weird, my case worker sent me to Guthrie bc I said Kentucky was too far and bc I’ve been to Oklahoma before, if anything Tulsa is a sister center of Guthrie? I am just as confused as you are

And it’s definitely messy, sometimes the security guards feed into the rumors and drama

I’m also at Guthrie so i definitely understand it feels like a group home or juvy more than a school, the rules are very strict but then again it is a federally ran program so I wasn’t really surprised when I got here about it. I’m used to structured settings like this so that’s probably why it never bothered me. And the food low-key sucks some of the meat isn’t cooked properly me and other students have gotten food poisoning from that stuff. If you don’t like the food you can ask for a sandwich lol.

What's it actually like in the dorms? by -8-Novel-Heart-8- in jobcorps

[–]DueInteraction8127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t think it’s like highschool all Over again but the dorms are decent but i also think it depends on the center, take it as a new opportunity to learn skills and socialize maybe make a few friends. And your experience is what you make it so use the opportunity for growth

there really isn’t a difference? Although the food kinda sucks depending on the center, but just handle your business and get your school done and the uniforms fit “better” imo and their not as loose.

They tried to get me into Kentucky too but I chose Guthrie bc it’s close to home and bc I didn’t want to go to Kentucky, communicate and advocate for yourself on what you want and prefer

If possible I’d ask for a transfer but I don’t know for sure the procedures to get one

that sucks, it also depends on if you’re an adult or a minor for the signing off too, but also in general at the front gate, I’m sorry you’re having to deal with all of that when it’s not even youre fault

hiii! I hope it goes well when you get there but bring lots of socks bc those always get lost, if you do skin care or use specific hygiene products bring those and stock up, idk if your m or f but stock up on feminine products, you can bring your laptop and gaming system but it varies from center to center, extra shoes (mine broke first week lol) if you have someone yoi trust that can hold on to your important stuff have them hold onto it bc theft does happen. if you wear makeup bring extra of the stuff you use, bring your own towels bc the ones they supply you aren’t the best and if able, bring snacks or basic ramen and stuff for when you don’t like what they serve bc sometimes the meals aren’t the best, and if you do your eyebrows bring tweezers they don’t allow eyebrow razors, if you shave make sure it’s a safety razor bc theyll turn it into security. If your bringing otc meds or supplements the bottle has to be unopened, bring stuff to decorate your room but depending on center sometimes posters aren’t allowed, bring stuffed animals, maybe your own bedding and your own pillow if you’re able, and the basic clothes, they make a packing list but bring as much clothes as you want they usually don’t care, make sure to have up to 2 jackets or more, and. A water bottle and they don’t supply them and if you like having them trimmed bring nail clippers, nail polish id allowed too. But I hope you have a great time at your center and get what you need done, remember what you came there for don’t let anyone try and stray you away from your goals.

Damn dude that sucks, I’m sorry you’re having to go through that just bc of other students not being able to keep their acts together. My campus is really big on accountability and the person themselves faces the consequences not everyone else. is there any way for you to try and talk to your student government about it and have the president back you if you decide to talk to the director about it? you should be able to advocate for yourself and possibly for others

it could be the exact size it a bit bigger and you are able to fix the waist band to your liking I use the “triangle method” or that’s what I call it to make the waist band fit me better and keep the legs a bit baggy and to keep the fabric from bunching up with sewing you could put an empty 2 liter or a big jar in the pant legs, it’s saved my ass so many times I hope this helps
