    The Job Corps program authorized by the Workforce Investment Act 
(WIA) of 1998, is designed to serve low-income young women and men, 16 
through 24, who are in need of additional vocational, educational and

Corps is operated by the Department of Labor through a nationwide 
network of 118 Job Corps centers. The program is primarily a 
residential program operating 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with 
non-resident enrollees limited by legislation to 20 percent of national 
enrollment. These centers presently accommodate more than 40,000 
students.
    The Placement Verification and Follow-up of Job Corps Participants
