His confidence on the dance floor has drastically increased since starting lessons thanks to Teri's teaching. Her classes make partner dance approachable and comfortable.

My husband and I have had so much fun! Our first visit was…read morefor a dinner and dancing evening where they taught us a few dance moves before the dinner. We realized how little we could dance, so we signed up for their Simply Social 5-session dance class (even got a Groupon for it and saved some $). We have continued to have so much fun in the class, and it's been good for us to go out together (now that the kids are older) and do something just for us. We're almost done with the second 5-week session and look forward to starting the third! Many thanks to the patient, fun and engaging instructors for helping my two left feet appear far less awkward!

Going into debt for college or working a soul-crushing 9-5 would be more enjoyable than Job Corps…read more I came here to learn, but I'm stuck with immature roommates who have zero social awareness or respect for others. I'm spending my time correcting teenagers and drug addicts instead of focusing on my trade. For how strict the program is on minor details, they are dangerously lenient during non-training hours. There is a total lack of authority because the staff, who are underpaid, would rather be friends with students than enforce rules. This has led to a breakdown in respect where the "bad" students outweigh the good, leaving those of us who actually have some smarts and care about our futures feeling like we're in a lost cause. The living conditions are horrid and borderline unsanitary. You can't even use the bathroom properly because stalls are missing toilet paper or don't close, and public restrooms are locked up because students use them for drugs or sex. While both are government-funded, local public schools beat Job Corps in every category from food quality to quantity. The system doesn't separate age groups or progress levels, so you're lumped in with a mix of 16-to-24-year-olds regardless of maturity. The Career Preparation Period (CPP) is a useless facade, and while they try to pamper you with activities the first week, it's all just a front to hide the reality of the program. Security and oversight are fundamentally broken. The screening process is a joke; students exploit the system by bringing in THC pens and other contraband because bags are barely checked and metal detectors are bypassed. Even when caught, Resident Assistants are often too lenient, assigning meaningless "details" that no one actually completes. There is a deep inconsistency in how rules are enforced; one day a manager tells you that you have "too much stuff" despite it being on your inventory, and the next, an RA is ignoring blatant drug use because they are friends with the students. Some staff members are even rumored to be supplying the substances themselves. The turnover rate for both staff and students is nonstop, which halts any real progress. I'm making no headway in my trade because of a poor culinary instructor who relies on favoritism rather than education. It feels like the program has strayed from its original purpose of providing opportunity and has instead become a dumping ground for parents who can't handle their children. This isn't a place for rehabilitation or learning anymore; it's a place of poverty-level conditions and failed bureaucracy. The only reason I stayed so long is for the free healthcare and driver's license, but the bad consistently outshines the good. Unless there is a massive overhaul in how they handle safety, substance abuse, and basic living standards, nothing here will ever change.

The staff seemed to genuinely care about their students until you need help. I don't believe any of…read morethe papers that I turned in were ever even read. I recieved no feed back at all, just hoped I was headed in the right direction. I passed my certification because I studied hard to learn the information and pass the exam. I told them I needed a keyboarding class or internet class of some kind. They just left me to figure it out myself. They say they offer job placement but I only got a couple of emails and then nothing. I feel ignored and taken advantage of. I graduated 6 months ago and still don't have a job. They say they will make a Professional Resume for you and you take a course to learn how to be interviewed and in the course you do resume worksheets, True Colors personality tests and also list all the jobs you've ever had, but in the end Michigan Works told me that my Professional Resume was the worst. There were typos and mispelled words they said if I had applied to them they wouldn't even look at it. In the end I felt like just a dollar sign to them. Everything they did for me was the very bare minnimum of what they promised. I am so discouraged and angry about this whole experience. I expected to graduate and get a GOOD job, not still be where I was before signing up.

Due to the practice in class I was prepared for the in person experience towards the end of the program at the long term care facilities.

Candy was the best teacher and provided a lot of helpful resources. 10/10 recommend for people who need a CNA certification.

I enjoy watching others perform in the class as much as being the one performing. A lot of gut laughs.
