The Perkins Job Corps Center recently held an Essay Contest titled the Future of Job Corps. Students had to write an essay as to what brought them to the Job Corps Program, and what they have accomplished since enrolling. The winning and heart felt essay came from 18 year old Security & Protective Services student Ms. Jessica Caperton from Pikeville, Ky.

All Essays had specific criteria to meet during the judging process. Content, Structure, and Impact. Judging was not an easy task, but all of the judges felt that Jessica essay met all criteria to be named the winner. Jessica winning essay along with her picture will be sent to the National Job Corps Association for future media purposes. Jessica also received a Wal-Mart gift card from the center.

 Congratulations to Jessica and her accomplishments.
