11:00 AM-8:00 PM 💙 What Does a Job Corps Counselor Do? Every student comes to Job Corps with different goals, experiences, strengths, and challenges. As a Counselor, you'll become one of their main points of support throughout the program.

Your goal is simple:

help students stay on track, overcome barriers, grow personally and professionally, and successfully complete their Job Corps journey. In this position, you will: 🌱 Build relationships with students — Get to know the students assigned to you and create supportive, professional mentoring relationships. 🎯 Help students create a plan for their future — Work individually with students to identify educational, career, and personal goals and develop a plan for reaching them. 💬 Provide personal and career counseling — Help students work through challenges that may affect their education, employment goals, or ability to successfully remain in the program. 📈 Track student progress — Regularly check how students are doing in academics, career training, residential life, and their overall Job Corps experience. 📝 Manage a student caseload — Maintain accurate notes, documentation, progress updates, and individualized plans for the students assigned to you. 🤝 Connect students with resources — Coordinate with departments on Center and outside community resources when a student needs additional support. 💡 Help remove barriers to success — Identify problems that could prevent a student from completing the program and work with the student and other staff to find appropriate solutions. 💙 Encourage students through difficult moments — Sometimes students need someone who can listen, provide guidance, hold them accountable, and remind them why they started. 🎓 Support student retention and completion — Help students remain engaged in the program and continue progressing toward graduation and employment. 🚗 Assist with student transportation when needed — Transport students for approved appointments, services, or other program needs. 🌟 You'll Also Have an Opportunity to Lead This position includes an additional leadership responsibility. When the Counseling/CPP Manager is unavailable, the Counselor may serve as the Acting Counseling/CPP Manager.

You'll regularly work with staff from Academics, Career Technical Training, Residential Living, Career Preparation, Health & Wellness, Recreation, Safety & Security, and other departments to make sure students receive the support they need. When a student is struggling, you'll help bring the right people together to determine: What's happening? What does this student need? And how can we help them move forward? 💙 Why Join Glenmont Job Corps?
