Residential
The Job ChalleNGe residential phase lasts from 8-20 weeks depending on what vocational or academic program the cadet chooses. Some vocational programs that are consistently available at Job ChalleNGe include welding, HVAC, construction, patient care, and academic college courses. During this phase, cadets build upon the 8 Core Components instilled during Youth ChalleNGe while focusing on job and career readiness. As cadets create Post-Residential Action Plans, staff will assist them in choosing which training and certifications to complete outside of their vocational program to maximize their skills and enhance their resumes. Each cadet will complete tasks that will help lead to placement by graduation, whether in jobs, school, or the military.
