The goal is to determine whether two-year, public community colleges; accredited, public two- and four-year historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs); and accredited tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCUs) can provide quality job training and placement to Job Corps eligible students that is less costly and has better employment outcomes than the traditional Job Corps model.
