The Gila Community College Governing Board has unanimously passed a resolution of support for the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation’s pursuit of a Civilian Conservation Center Job Corps facility for Southern Gila County.
Resolutions of support have also been passed by the Miami Town Council, Globe City Council and Gila County Board of Supervisors.
Job Corps is the nation’s largest and most successful residential and educational workforce training program for economically disadvantaged youth.
A Job Corps center could create nearly 100 new jobs and pump as much as $8 million into the local economy.
Gila Community College would partner with the Job Corps to offer a variety of vocational training programs.
