Summary:

State or locally established youth-training programs are offered in most states. Although many have characteristics similar to those of the Job Corps program, state and local youth corps programs most closely resemble the Job Corps program. Two such programs--the California Conservation Corps and the Seaborne Conservation Corps in Galveston, Texas--contain all four features that, taken together, characterize the Job Corps: they serve disadvantaged youth, provide basic education, offer vocational training, and provide services in a residential setting. However, even these two programs differ from the Jobs Corps in the ways that they run their programs. For example, the California program does not specifically target the disadvantaged, and Seaborne's vocational training is geared toward a single industry.
