House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee:
Re: Letter of Support for Inland Empire Job Corps Center—Funding
Dear Sirs/Madams:
On behalf of the City of San Bernardino,we are writing to request full and continued funding for
the Inland Empire Job Corps Program.
Job Corps" commitment to providing vocational training to high and at-risk youth, who have
dropped out of high school and/or require alternative education, is powerful. In doing so, the
lives of these youth have been positively impacted and they are well prepared to pursue stable
career paths. They bring not only industry skills, but they're top notch in every other aspect of
employment. We are supporters of what Job Corps has done in helping young people become
self- sufficient and prepared for the labor market. Job Corps also provides our local companies
with qualified and certified individuals who are ready to fill positions in the workforce.
The City has benefited from the youth who participate in the Job Corp Program. The City has
hired graduates from the Inland Empire Job Corps Center and has also partnered with the center
to provide internships and volunteer opportunities. Through the Job Corp program and its young
people,the city has been able to accomplish much needed projects while providing them with the
opportunity to gain job experience.
It is important that these critical programs are available to our youth. We respectfully request that
you continue to fund the Job Corps program.
Sincerely,
R. Carey Da s
Mayor
