We had to share this great success story highlighting a Sacramento JC student submitted by Staci Teegarden, who is the Apprenticeship Consultant that works for the Division of Apprenticeship Standards under Department of Industrial Relations. Amazing job Jordyn!

Today is National Stress Awareness Day, and it’s an important reminder for us all to pause, breathe and reflect. At Job Corps, we are committed to supporting the mental health of our students through a variety of programs and resources. From on-campus counseling services to recreational activities and wellness workshops, we offer students the tools they need to manage stress and maintain balance, because strong mental health is key to career success too.

On October 1, Carrie Wetter, a talent acquisition specialist from Union Pacific, visited Springdale Job Corps to present an upcoming workshop on engineering. She provided valuable insights on job applications, resume building, collecting references, and the importance of saving for retirement. 15 students signed up for the workshop and displayed great enthusiasm throughout the week, eager to learn how to secure positions with the company. On October 9th students, along with two staff members, attended a career event at the Union Pacific Railroad facility in North Portland. During this event, they heard presentations from U.P. staff about various job opportunities within the railroad, including roles related to locomotives and rail work, with starting salaries ranging from $60,000 to $80,000. The team also shared tips on maximizing interview chances for those interested in applying. Students had the chance to observe and practice using hand and power tools, as well as welding techniques commonly employed in the field.  Seven students have applied for positions, with three already set up for interviews.

At Job Corps, we understand that personal well-being is key to professional development. This World Mental Health Day, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a supportive environment where students can thrive both mentally and in their career training.
