MILWAUKEE - s4story -- The Milwaukee Job Corps campus, located at 6665 N 60^th St, is operated by Horizons Youth Services (HYS) for the Department of Labor (DOL) and has now received guidance to resume full outreach and recruiting operations.

The Milwaukee Job Corps outreach and admissions (OA) staff are currently contacting all applicants who have been waiting for their background checks to identify those who are still interested in expanding their career path at the Milwaukee campus. The OA staff have already been in constant communication with applicants to keep them informed of the positive steps towards a full and open Job Corps program.

Recently, the Senate Labor and Human & Health Services sub-committee has voted 26-3 to fund Job Corps fully in FY26. With such a strong show of support during the appropriation process, we remain very confident that the full senate and house will undoubtedly support a similar vote.
