Gary job corps was a great place .please do not believe the negative reviews about gange and violence and all of thst it's a lie. I was here for a little over a year and I'll tell you the honest to God truth. Job corps is what you make it, you get involved in drama and relationships with people then yes it's gonna absolutely suck I PROMISE!! But if you step back look at what you have there then it's a blessing .I was a trouble making always fighting POS....went to Gary job corps and took Corrections under Major Oldbury and I graduated, got a good check to leave on, tons of free dental work I've been needing, reshaping and bleaching even, weight loss program and got a job at the Sheriff's office, that was almost 5 years ago. Since then job corps has contacted me and gave me 3 scholarships......YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. I did meet my wife at Gary and we now have a little girl but I can't stress it to you, DO NIT FOCUS ON RELATIONSHIPS focus on your future that's what matters. Job corps will give you the world on a platter it's your choice to take it .That's all I wanted to say, hope this helps people make their decision. AND BTW THEY HAVE 24/7 ON SITE PATROLLING SECURITY. Yes there are people who do bad things like sell drugs but of 1200 students there are maybe 10-20 with drugs and non sense but it's your choice to surround yourself with that. If your really can't make it through the program then it's not the center it's you. You chose bad friends and bad relationships and most of all you chose to let it decide how successful your future will be. I cant say it enough if you fall into being in fear and surrounded by bad people then it was you who put you there.
