Several students at our Cleveland Job Corps Center learn, as they prepare to separate from our Center, being completers; the importance of gaining our Members of Congress, (MOC’s) support. After hearing that their support makes a huge difference for all students and staff at all Job Corps Centers, they were more receptive to putting up a skit with a Valentines Card asking and encouraging our 7 out of 8 MOC’s in our district to become Members of our “Friends of Job Corps Caucus”. Being that we discovered that only 1 out of the 8 MOC’s- is a member. Students related how they are not politically savvy and appreciated the newly acquired knowledge.
Students learn “Why Members of Congress are so important to our Job Corps Centers”.
