https://thehill.com/business/budget/5325826-labor-department-job-corps-centers/The Department of Labor (DOL) announced this week it will pause operations at Job Corps centers nationwide, a move that has already gotten pushback from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill.
The department said Thursday it will begin a phased pause initiating an orderly transition for students, staff, and local communities. The pause will occur by June 30, the office said.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said the program has been found to no longer achieve the intended outcomes that students deserve, citing what she described as a startling number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis.
We remain committed to ensuring all participants are supported through this transition and connected with the resources they need to succeed as we evaluate the programs possibilities.
Job Corps, established as part of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, is a free residential education and job training program for low-income people between 16 and 24 years of age.

and no one seems willing to stop him. Congress is afraid of him, the Justice department is no longer a valid organization, and I have little faith Judicial system will do anything.
I hope the WPP (white people's party) supporters all lose their jobs and benefits - but we all know, based on history, that is not the way it will work.

While also closing programs that help beneficiaries get jobs.
Makes about as much sense as banning abortion while cutting services for mothers and children.
