Expectations
At Idaho Job Corps, our mission is to “Inspire and Empower Students Towards a Purposeful Life. Research shows that
empowered individuals take the time necessary to build their physical body as well as their academic knowledge, while
meeting mental health needs and being of service to others. To support this in our students, Idaho Job Corps has several
weekly expectations. These weekly expectations include:
Fitness: 2.5 hours
Service Learning: 3 hours
Life Skills: At minimum, 1 class per week
Academic Progress
o Maintaining a C or better in all coursework or completion of assigned work
o No missing work/assignments
Case Management Meeting: 1 weekly meeting
House Meeting: 1 weekly meeting
Total Weekly Requirement: 35 hours
o Along with the expectations above, this includes:
Academic tutoring and/or studying
Work experience
Job shadowing
Job Corps related appointments
Employment
Etc.
If a student does not meet the weekly expectations, he/she will, first, be given a warning. The next time the student
does not meet the weekly expectations, he/she will develop an action plan with a staff member. Each subsequent week
where the expectations are not met will result in a minor infraction. After five infractions, a student may be separated
from the Idaho Job Corps program.
Your signature below indicates you have read and understand Idaho Job Corps’ expectations and the consequences if
the expectations are not met.
As an applicant to the Idaho Job Corps, I understand the program expectations. I understand that if I do not meet the
Idaho Job Corps expectations, I will not earn my full weekly stipend, and it can lead to separation from the program.

Job Corps Outreach and Admissions
Guide to
The Holland Career Interest Assessment
For young adults, one of the most annoying questions is “what do you want to do for a living?”
Some people have a “calling” to their chosen profession. They knew exactly what they wanted
to do since the second grade. For the rest of us, it’s not that easy. How are you supposed to
know what occupation you want to pursue? A career test can help you discover who you are
and what you want out of your career.
Don’t panic! Idaho Job Corps uses the Holland Career Interest Assessment. This “test” is
actually fun to take! There are no grades, and you don’t pass or fail. There are no right or
wrong answers, so go with what you feel is the best answer. This test will give you ideas about
what you possibly could do for a career, based off your interests, rather than what you just
think you want to do.
On the following page, please fill in the circle for each activity you like, or would like to do. For
example, do you like solving puzzles? Playing games like sudoku and Scrabble? Then you would
fill in the circle to the right of that activity. If you don’t like an activity, just leave the circle
blank. Repeat that for every activity on the page. When you’re done, count the number of
filled circles in each column (“R” “I” “A” “S” “E” and “C”), and write the total in the bottom on
the column.
Once you have your totals, transfer them to the second page. The higher your total in a
category, the stronger your interest is in that grouping. The more interest you have in a
category, the more enjoyment and satisfaction you will have with your work.
R = Realistic
I = Investigative
A = Artistic
S = Social
E = Enterprising
C = Conventional
Finally, research and compare your interests to Job Corps’ career technical clusters. Work
environments fall into similar categories, as well. Therefore, when you determine which
categories you have the strongest interest in, your Workforce Consultant can help you identify
which Job Corps training fit you best.

Idaho Department of Labor
Job Corps Privacy Act Statement
This statement applies to forms used by the Idaho Department of Labor for the Job Corps program that contain
confidential data from Job Corps students and applicants.
This statement describes the collection and use of information from Job Corps students and applicants by the
Department of Labor for the Job Corps program.
The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, requires all Federal agencies, including Job Corps and its agents, to give the
following facts to each person from whom it requires information:
The statutory authority for the request
Why the information is needed
Whether it is voluntary or mandatory to give the information
The effect of not providing information
The use which may be made of the information
Whether disclosure of the Social Security Number (SSN) is mandatory or voluntary, by what status or other
authority the number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it.
These items are more fully explained in the following sections. If you have any questions about your rights and
responsibilities under the Privacy Act, you should ask for assistance from the person assigned to you in Job Corps as a
Counselor or Advisor.
I. The Department of Labor’s Authorization to Collect Information
Job Corps is a part of the Idaho Department of Labor. The Department’s authority to collect information from Job
Corps applicants and students is found in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. The
Department’s authority to solicit the Social Security number is found in the Social Security Administration’s
regulation, WIOA and the Job Corps regulations under WIOA.
II. Why the information is needed
Job Corps needs information about age, citizenship, school and draft status, health, employability, behavior,
family income, environment, and other matters related to your eligibility, assignment, and progress in Job Corps.
This information may be used to:
Determine whether your educational and vocational needs can be best met through Job Corps or another
program in your home community
Determine your potential assignment
Lay the basis for determining your progress in Job Corps programs and activities
Determine your eligibility to enter Job Corps for health needs (medical, dental, and/or mental health) while a
student, and also to establish and maintain a record of your health care during the period of enrollment in Job
Corps for legal and administrative reasons, e.g., future health care, and indication of quality of health care
Maintain a record of cash, clothing, and other benefits received by the individual
III. Obligatory and Voluntary Information and Possible Consequences of Withholding Information or Providing
False Information
While there are no penalties under the law for refusing to supply information, WIOA requires the collection and
maintenance of a wide range of personal information about you, including your Social Security number, to satisfy
enrollment requirements. Not supplying the needed information could delay or prevent you from enrolling and
participating in Job Corps.
The provision of false information by you could lead to expulsion from the program and/or prosecution under the
U.S. Criminal Code when such information is used to support a fraudulent claim to benefits.

IV. How the Information is Used
The SSN will be used to payroll allotment, allowances and bonuses. In carrying out its responsibilities under WIOA

about you to another agency or individual without your specific written consent. Such disclosures are made for
the following reasons:
In connection with federal litigation, for law enforcement purposes
To the parent locator service of the Department of HHS or to other authorized persons defined by Public Law

To an information source in connection with personnel, procurement, or benefit-related matters, to a
contractor or their employees, consultants, grantees or their employees, or volunteers with have been
engaged to assist Job Corps in the performance of a contract
For Federal debt collection purposes
If a person about whom records are maintained submits a written request to a Member of Congress or their
staff and that request is forwarded to the U.S. Department of Labor, we may release the information to the
Member of Congress or Congressional staff in response to the inquiry made on behalf of the subject of the
record.
To provide information to the news media or members of the general public for the purpose of promoting the
merits of the program
To provide information to placement and welfare agencies, prospective employers, school or training
institutions to assist in student employment
To provide information to State, Federal, and local law enforcement agencies (including appropriate agencies
which have law enforcement jurisdiction over students on which the center is located) and other government
investigators to assist them in locating a student and/or his or her family
To provide information to parents/guardians regarding students under the age of 18 for performance of
parental rights and responsibilities
To provide information to Job Corps health consultants; Job Corps center Review Board members (in
appropriate disciplinary cases); Stats, county, and local health services personnel; family planning agencies;
and physicians (public or private) to whom a student is referred for diagnosis or to receive treatment to assure
continuance of proper health care, or notification and contact for communicable disease control.
To provide State and local health departments information about all cases of infection or disease that are
required to be reported to them; and infected persons who are unwilling to notify their contacts on center for
the purpose of assisting in the counseling of contact for their protection and care
To provide information to contractors and agencies to enable them to properly administer the program,
including the payment of student allowances and maintenance and disposal of student pay records
To provide information to Federal, State, and local agencies and community-based organizations to facilitate
statistical research, audit and evaluation activities necessary to insure the success, integrity, and improvement
of the Job Corps program and other employment and training programs
To provide the Selective Service System with information which will allow them to register you automatically
for Selective Service when you become 18, if you are male and not already registered
For research purposes
Privacy Act information collected from the student shall not be used in any study or research project unless it
has been approved by the Department, for freely given by the student with his or her consent.
Job Corps has given you a copy of this statement, in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, which
explains the uses that will be made of information that you or others might supply in Job Corps about yourself.
A single copy of this form must be given to the student for personal reference upon enrollment.
