[@dawn2wells]

It's not allowance it's a federal payment bc you're a federal employee you filled out a W2. You're receiving a paycheck. The federal government pays you to participate in the program.

[@lovleyloner1487]

How much is the pay exactly I hear different things and that it goes up when you’ve been there a while etc.

@@royalpain9939 well simply the Buildings the department of labor leased 30 years ago were usually in the city. Near businesses, near hospitals, near churches, communities, bus routes, and now THEY ARE NOT! It was bad enough to have "a Joke of "security".... Supposed to make sure no one entered the building with weapons or anything else illegal....but They Never Did their job and yet they kept their job. Turned out, they were only there to harass, insult, and threaten the 16-24 JobCorps enrollees..... legally federal employees btw...and well that hasn't changed. The buildings now are enclosed with fences ....making the enrollees.....legal federal employees....like common criminals. They even have the enrollees cutting people's hair..... To keep them from needing or feeling the need to leave. Not to mention Never talking to them about for profit and non profit financial institutions aka Banks....so they can make wise decisions about their financial future. It was bad enough telling the enrollees.....legal federal employees....they couldn't take their PAYCHECKS to a bank to open an account! Which is a blatant Federal Offense! I could go on. But you're probably just a joke of a JobCorps useless employee....who doesn't mind violating the law against minorities. Or anyone else for that matter.

Got my start date. Going in pretty late, age wise, 23. Plenty of job experience, actually heard about the program from a co-worker.
