Place is a jail . Its supposed to be a place where they treat you like adults but they treat you like a kid. Cant even work when your here to earn some money on the side and when u leave they only give u like 600 like it supposed to help u set you up for life but doesn't.

this place is decent if you focus and get done , but I would not recommend going until they uplift the guidelines, food good if you have a 2 certain cooks black and Asian. But stay virtual until they uplift guidelines

I submitted an application on March 27th and it is now May and still haven't heard a thing from this Tampa. It's absolutely ridiculous. I have left numerous voicemails on different people's machine and still no answer. I just spoke to a manager at the Jacksonville office, Sherry Hopper or Hooper, not 100% sure and she was very apologetic and explained why this is occurring. I get what she said but I still feel some kind of way about this. Very disappointed in this office and their professionalism. FYI I tried giving no stars but It wouldn't let me post this.

angel | Dec 22, 2021
Angelia Richardson | Dec 22, 2021

Call 800.733.JOBS & tell them you need to speak to a recruiter for Cascades Job Corps. If you tell them you live in Florida, they will probably transfer your call here. Tell them you are going to be in the area nearest Cascade. Or you could google the center number and ask for an admissions counselor. You are making a good choice. Good luck!

What happens if i test for positive on THC for a drug test?.

Roro | Aug 19, 2020
Dakota Delones | Aug 19, 2020

If you get accepted, during your first few days you will spend your time getting check-ups and you will be drug tested and if you test positive you will be put on a program called TEAP and you will be given a water bottle and encouraged to exercise to sweat it out of your system. You will then be given another drug test after about a month and if you fail that one you will then be kicked out.

If a person breaks an item that's yours do they pay for it

Aaliyah Glover | Aug 20, 2019
Dakota Delones | Aug 20, 2019

It depends on the item and who's breaking it, if it's a personal item no, and if it's broken by a staff member most likely they will have to replace it. But usually no, you can tell a staff member that someone broke your stuff to see what can be done but usually you will have to replace it yourself.

Do you work Monday-Friday or is there selective scheduling?

1. Is the GED program classes or a computer program and how long does it take to pass it? 2.Is there wifi in the dorms? 3.Do they have Soda? 4.Are Adult students allowed to leave campus after class? 5. Is there holiday breaks?

Elijah ECHICAGOBEARS Boyd (Elijah Boyd) | Aug 20, 2019
Dakota Delones | Aug 20, 2019

1. The GED program is a computer class and can be done in as little as a week, it's a self-paced course. So it depends on you and your work ethic. 2. There is WiFi, it is turned off during the training day and turns on after dismissal. During the weekends it's on all day and all night. 3. Yes they have soda, But only in the vending machines. In the cafeteria there are plenty of options of different juices and tea and water to choose from. 4. Adult students are allowed to leave campus, you get a phase card that will tell you when and the times you need to be back by. For example if you have a green phase card, or known as the employee phase card, you can only leave on Tuesdays at 4:30 and must be back on campus by 8pm. You can also leave friday, Saturday, and Sunday but at different times. 5. There are holiday breaks, sometimes during breaks that are normally a day or two they try to extend the break two at least a week so people can leave campus.

Typically how long would it take to get accept to Job Corp and be able to start program ? Do you have wear uniforms ? When put in dorms are they based on trade or age ? Do they Job Corp have decent foods?

Kaitlin Naugler | Aug 20, 2019
Dakota Delones | Aug 20, 2019

To get accepted it depends on you, your admission counselor and when they have open spots. It could take anywhere from a few days to months. Uniforms - Yes, depending on which trade you use, you will be given different colored scrubs and white shoes for medical trades and different colored shirts and shoes with a belt for hard trades. Dorms are sorted according to trade or currently in the process of being sorted by trade, but there are a few exceptions to that rule, like people that have been here for a while. The food here is Cisco food, it's not the best but it is edible and will fill you up, but when you stay here for a while you are able to receive a card that lets you go off campus and you can buy snacks or order food with the small paycheck you get bi-weekly.
