After years of advocacy, planning and waiting, a new educational and vocational opportunity emerges. 
City of Milwaukee

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) today announced plans for the development of a new 150,000 square foot, eight building Milwaukee Job Corps Center campus on Milwaukee's Northwest side. The Center will provide free educational and vocational skills training, as well as job placement counseling, to "at promise" youth ages 16-24.
 
"This Job Corps Center is a major development for the City of Milwaukee," said Mayor Barrett.  "It will provide hundreds of young people across our City with exciting opportunities to develop advanced job skills and training in a wide range of fields." 

"This center gives hope for a better future for many of Milwaukee's youth," said Ursula Twombly, principal and lead designer, Continuum Architects + Planners, S.C., "and could be the catalyst for major architectural changes to better Milwaukee's struggling neighborhoods."
