On Sunday we went with my sister Jozi to drive my nephew DJ back to Oregon where he is enrolled in Job Corps. He was at home visiting his parents in Lacey and Centralia for the Thanksgiving holiday. DJ went into Job Corps in May and is really enjoying it.This was the first time I had been to the Job Corps facility which is located in Troutdale, Oregon (near Gresham). The campus is in a beautiful setting near the banks of the Sandy River. The facility has fairly tight security and lots of rules to keep the students on track with their studies.
DJ travels three days a week to Portland (a 40 minute commute) where he has an on-the-job training position. They teach lots of great employability skills at Job Corps including taking initiative, working in teams, how to troubleshoot and problem solve and dress appropriately for work. I'm really glad DJ is enrolled.
