Oh, oh.....Heather is pretty darn upset again. The certifications offered by Job Corps were the #1 reason for her to go there. Now she has found out that they don't really offer what they say and for the ones you CAN take, most you have to pay for. Here's something copied directly from The Loring Job Corps web site.......

======================
Heather pinned down an OR teacher to discover some of these have NEVER been offered and some are offered no longer. The training and certification page seems to be a big sham.
Is Heather upset???? BIG TIME!!!!
We just talked more than an hour. Heather is back to feeling like she is wasting her time. This next week she does Wildland Fire and is looking forward to that. When that's done, there's not much offered until kayak season. This is a huge bummer!
Is it legal to advertise courses that aren't even offered? Now the question becomes....do we become rabble rousers and make things happen? Or give up Job Corps and find a better way to do this?
