Want a few different experiences and opinions
Job Corps is a potential option in my current situation, but I was very curious about a few things. I'm aware that all the centers have different policies and student satisfaction levels but I wanted all the info I could get, please let me know what center you are at as well as any info.
-
) Does stealing really happen all that often? If so, what would be considered worth stealing, and would students dare to steal something I keep on me at all times?
-
) How many people room with you? Is there any rhyme or reason to who you get paired with or is it just wherever you can go?
-
) What's the cell phone and noise policy?
-
) Do they allow terrarium pets if non-venomous?
-
) Is the food actually "healthy" and "nutritious", or is that just what they're labeling it for marketing(?) purposes?
-
) Would I be permitted to carry non-lethal self defense tools such as pepper spray or a personal alarm?
-
) How respectful overall are staff and students towards transgender and queer folks? What are the policies for going by a different name, set of pronouns, being on hrt, etc. ?
-
) Overall, would you say your time there was worth it, or has been worth it so far?
