Phases of Career Development… Applicants to the Job Corps program are identified and screened for eligibility by organizations contracted by the U. S. Department of Labor. Each student in the Job Corps goes through four stages of the program:

Outreach and Admissions (OA) : This is the stage at which students visit admissions counselors and gather information, as well as prepare for and leave for their Job Corps Centers. Transportation is provided to and from the centers by Job Corps.

Career Preparation Period (CPP) : This stage focuses on the assimilation of the student into the center, academic testing, health screening, and instruction on resume building and job search skills. Students are instructed on computer literacy, employability, and center life. This phase lasts for the first 30 days on center.

Career Development Period (CDP) : This period is where the student receives all vocational training, drivers' education, academic instruction, and preparation for life outside of Job Corps, i. e. a repeat of CPP with an actual job search…

Career Transition Readiness/Career Transition Services (CTr)/ (CTs) : The period immediately after the student graduates. Career Transition Specialists outside the center assist in the graduate's job search and arrangement of living accommodations, transportation, and family support resources
