As part of the first-ever “Mentor a Job Corps Student Day, sponsored by the Friends of Job Corps Congressional Caucus and National Job Corps Association, Congressmen Lloyd Doggett and Francisco Canseco hosted students from the Gary Job Corps Center for a one-day internship in their District Office’s.  Students were selected nationwide to work alongside their Member of Congress and staff during the most recent congressional district work period.  Additionally, Gary Students interned at the offices of Congressmen Henry Cuellar, Lamar Smith, and Charles Gonzalez at their District Offices.  The students spent their day being exposed to the inter-workings of the legislative branch of government, the role an elected offical plays in the decision-making process, and the importance of Congress to Job Corps.  They learned invaluable information about constituent services, legislative policy, office management and communications.
