Currently, the Roswell Job Corps Center offers
training in seven different vocations. During the Career Preparation
Period, students are given the opportunity to determine their first,
second, and third vocational choices. They visit each of their chosen
three vocations and participate in some “hands- on” activities.
They
are scheduled for two class periods in each of their choices. This
provides them with the opportunity to discover their own interests,
aptitudes, and preferences relating to a wide range of employment
paths.
