I suppose cutting Job Corps is not as big of a blow as long as they retain employment training programs for people on public assistance. BFET basically requires every single adult without dependents to enter government-provided employment training or get kicked off food stamps. Depending on career direction, that training can even lead to college education largely paid for. And by the time your government funds run out leaving you to pay for the rest of your tuition, you should have an established job with advancing potential by that time anyway. From what I've heard TANF, which is provided for needy families, operates similarly in it's requirement for continued job training and opportunities for college assistance.

The goal of the programs is to offer public assistance long enough to get you off of it, while leaving you in a better employment situation.


Job Corps generally was not much more than that, while providing campus facilities in some locations which an unfortunate number of applicants just used as flop houses until booted from the program. I mean if the production numbers were not meeting the worth of the expense...it should be no surprise if heads of government decided "yeah this isn't really working, we need to try something else to be more cost effective".


However, if Trump and his minions are simply deciding to cut everything that assists the underprivileged without leaving alternatives, then we are truly screwed as a country.
