Joliet Job Corps Center Business Community Liaison met on Monday with 11th District Congressman Bill Foster after his second annual presentation “Combating the Heroin Epidemic: 2015 Year in Review.”

Although abuse of the drug is an issue in Will County, it is not at the Joliet Job Corps Center. Ms. Warren and the Congressman discussed two bills he recently has proposed to fight the local drug problem.

The Congressman also congratulated the Center on its work with young adults and noted that Job Corps programs were well-equipped to fight drug abuse because of the intensive involvement by staff in students’ lives.
