Job Corps is the nation's largest and most comprehensive residential, educational and job training program for at-risk youth ages, 16 through 24. Since its inauguration in 1964, Job Corps has provided more than 2 million disadvantaged young people with the integrated academic, career technical, and social skills training they need to gain independence and get quality, long-term jobs or further their education. Job Corps is a public-private partnership, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and Employment & Training Administration (ETA).

Job Corps serves nearly 70,000 students a year at 122 Job Corps centers throughout the country.

The CDSS is composed of five stages: Outreach and Admissions (OA), Career Preparation Period (CPP), Career Development Period (CDP), Career Transition Period (CTP), and Career.
