The
San Jose Job Corps Center provides educational courses designed to provide
trainees with the academic skills and knowledge to earn a GED or high
school diploma, or to upgrade skills to levels needed for vocational
training success and employability. The intent is to develop in each
trainee individual learning skills, continuous improvement and lifelong
learning.
Each
course will have prerequisites based on levels achieved in diagnostic
testing or demonstrated skill levels. Competency testing to evaluate
overall progress and achievement levels can include the GED testing, Tests
of Basic Adult Education (TABE), Job Corps vocational competency tests,
writing proficiency tests, and other competency tests.
Instruction
is tailored to the learning styles and abilities of individual trainees.
It is delivered in the context of projects or real work situations
whenever possible and integrates the academic, social development,
vocational, and other competencies.
