This program is unique in that instructors genuinely care for their students and their success, in return NEWCorp and Job Corps show their appreciation and gratitude to their employees.

Job Corps and NEWCorp provide a caring family environment whereas the majority of our at-promise students have never had one.

Working with NewCorp has been a rewarding experince for our students and staff. We have the equipment that helps our students acheive their educational goals. The classroom environment is a huge improvement. The instructors are experienced educators.

Laura Vigil, Numeracy Instructor

NEWCorp Academic Program, Albuquerque

After working in the public schools for many years, I find working with at-promise students has been the most rewarding part of my teaching career. The best part of my job is seeing the number of gains that my students have earned and then seeing them graduate.

This program works well because of the great staff at NEWCorp. They have a positive attitude and are there for the students' needs.

One time we had an ELL student pass his GED. He was so excited, he was jumping up and down, with loud screams. When our students reach their goals, I believe they value it a lot more because most of them come from difficult backgrounds.

Even though I am not in a classroom setting, I enjoy seeing young adults meet their goals, especially when they never thought they would reach them.

Two things make New Education for the Workplace a winning proposition for the Albuquerque Job Corps Center. First of all, we invest in technology and curriculum utilizing technology.  Secondly, we individualize for every student by developing an Individual Learning Plan.  Every student knows what they need to work on and why.

Tom Piper, Numeracy II Instructor

NEWCorp Academic Program, Albuquerque JCC

The students need to know that you care, but they don't want to feel like your project.  I offer procedures to the students that are reasonable and that maintain high expectations.  With this out of way, I can relate to them as a person without confusing work and play.  They do very well with this environment.

Tom Piper, Numeracy II Instructor

NEWCorp Academic Program, Albuquerque JCC

My experience with the Job Corps and NEWCorp partnership has been quite positive. I introduced myself to the Job Corp staff in a one on one basis. Each and every one of them told me how Job Corps works and I listened to them as I would to friends. We are in it together, so to speak, and the feeling is that we are successful together.

Anthony Kenworthy, GED Instructor

NEWCorp Academic Program, Albuquerque JCC

The most rewarding aspect of this position is the success of the students who pass their GED exams that didn’t think it possible. We do this as a team and it has been successful. These students don’t feel like they are entering the exam alone.

Anthony Kenworthy, GED Instructor

NEWCorp Academic Program, Albuquerque JCC

NEWCorp and the Albuquerque Job Corp Center (AJCC) enjoy a very successful partnership. With the full support of AJCC, NEWCorp provides student scheduling and TABE Assessment for the entire center in addition to providing basic instruction in Numeracy, Literacy, and GED preparation. As a result of this partnership, more students at AJCC have experienced success in achieving their GED than ever before.

Through honesty and accountability, our at-promise youth are served and empowered to take ownership of their growth. Nothing is more rewarding than watching a student move from a position of dependence to a position of confidence and self-determination.
