New Hampshire students and elected officials are calling on the Trump Administration to reverse its termination of Job Corps, a free education and job training program for young adults.
Isaiah Martino, 22, was one of several who spoke out at a press conference Monday at the Manchester Community College. Martino dropped out of high school with no job and no place to live. In January, he graduated from Job Corps. Martino called the program a second chance at life.
“I now have my high school diploma and driver’s license. I am a certified kitchen cook. I have a stable job, an apartment, and a car,” Martino, of Manchester, said. “Before going to Job Corps, these were things that I never imagined that I would achieve.”
