Gary Job Corps gets Gold Star Award

The Gary Job Corps Center was recognized by the National Job Corps Association as the highest Gold Star Recipient of the 125 Job Corps Centers in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Gold Star Award symbolizes the involvement in the Community through community service and keeping the elected officials educated on the service accomplished by the staff, students and community.
