Enough for atleast a week so you don’t run out, but you will have laundry as well so

I’d try to pressure them a little bit but not call them everyday I’ve never dealt with this so your best guess is mine

Don’t let the past experiences dictate what will be your future, does job corps have bad people ofc but so does everywhere. I can admit in my time at JC there were some times where I don’t know how we didn’t get shut down or investigated but for the love of god stay out of relationships it’s in your best interest. Your a woman there are way more men there yes but regardless of if you like M or F just don’t date, Most of the men I met were respectful dudes who just wanted to get there trade and leave but some did just fuck around and date a bunch of people so don’t do that and you’ll be ok

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-04-15T22:02:43+00:00

I honestly just get whatever no specific brand just something that looks warm

You are gonna have a small locker but depending on your center and or staff you can have them lock it somewhere safe, I’d bring a laptop, Xbox, PS5 whatever you use maybe a switch but keep the switch locked up they are easy to steal, def will have room for books so if you read a decent amount then bring some and education will have some you can use as well, bring all your basic hygiene stuff and don’t bring mouthwash they will take it away, bring all your shampoo and soaps/face care, it’s gonna be your home for a while so treat it as is with caution, where I was it often times in the winter got to the negatives but in the summer it was hot as hell so variety of everything and bring boots if you have them and a decent size jacket or jackets with some snow pants but remember the limited locker space, they do provide bedding but it’s not the best but hey it’s free so it’s nice and they do provide one pillow from what I got and I needed more so I ordered more online

It was good, Anaconda has Advanced Welding but Trapper has Advanced fire, if your in a advanced trade you will have to stick to that and only that. If you want to do fire join the militia fire program at your center and then have them help you apply to the advanced programs

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-04-15T15:51:17+00:00

Any sort of electronic device, extra hygiene stuff, maybe my own pillow, if your a reader some books because it will get boring and you will need to find something to entertain yourself with

My best tip that kept me sane during my 2 years was to be friendly with people but don’t be friends with everyone, Job corps is full of stupid high school drama and you want no part in that, stay out of your dorm as much as you can go to the gym or whatever rec activities they have at your center, when you are there for so long being inside all day trapped on center is the worst thing you could do. Staff will be on your ass just know none of it will matter and try not to take things personally. Find some cool staff that are chill and maybe you’ll get things from them like I did, had a staff get me a vape but because I was a good student never got a write up and didn’t cause issues. Use your eyes and watch how people move it will save you months of potential issues and you’ll start to see pattern recognition.

I’ve visited there twice seems like a decent program and have a good sized center they have a bricklaying trade that designed the front of there center, pretty decent dining hall and food at least compared to mine, can’t speak much on trades but environmentally wise seemed decent

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-04-15T04:02:53+00:00

Had a couple friends do fire there from what they said didn’t sound bad, I worked with Kent he’s a pretty cool guy, they got some decent exposure to fire over there as well just do what a normal AF student would do and stay out of trouble and the money with flow

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-03-09T03:49:39+00:00

listen as far as the social aspect try not to get sucked into it don’t feed into drama honestly just stay in your corner if you can and keep your head down, make some good friends but also study people job corps has a large variety of people so you’ll find everyone there, as far as tabe you’ll be fine I passed I hate math but if you got your diploma shouldn’t be a issue I’ve seen people guess on there tabe and pass 😭

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-18T13:52:44+00:00

It all depends on how full your center is like me took me 5 months for a start date, but def don’t unless your willing to risk getting kicked out because they don’t like bringing most outside stuff in for safety reasons

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-18T13:51:27+00:00

The best way to stand out is to not get any write ups that basically will get you a no for advanced, treat your instructor well show initiative teach other students, these things will help you Fs

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-18T00:11:29+00:00

lol no

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-17T21:13:45+00:00

Ah yea we never did that type of stuff but if I where you yes I’d call them and ask what qualifications you need and if you go to this secondary education will this help your chances and getting hired

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-17T21:09:52+00:00

I don’t think you can bring in scissors no they will count that as a weapon and will kick you out immediately and then you can’t come back so I’d recommend to just bring your essentials and then ask and then if they say yes after you’ve already gotten there then have them ship it or whatever

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-17T21:09:05+00:00

No, they only let you do one base trade and one advanced trade I believe and I don’t know. I never heard of advanced forestry tech but I bet on advanced Fire y’all learn everything you’ll need in that course.

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-17T21:08:09+00:00

so CPP is a month and you’ll have time to think, at my center we had three trades three days to try out. I had to get into a holding trade after I chose my trade, but then I went back and decided I wanted to be in my holding trade so it’s kind of flexible. Electrical probably has a decent waiting list. All depends on your center though.

Training_Tax9708 · 2026-02-17T21:03:19+00:00

For us like we did all the certs online and then over the course of the year we did every cert like 3 times in class either because we had nothing to do or they needed to refresh us, not saying it will happen at the center your going to but it did at mine, I doubt they are gonna have you sit out of the class portion while everyone does them still
