Maui Job Corps Center Honors Top Employees

The Maui Job Corps Center recently honored top employees through its Celebrating Excellence awards program that selects recipients based on impact, character, leadership and years of service.

Job Corps is a national program that offers underserved youth a set of diverse academic opportunities and career pathways tailored to meet the needs of business and industry. Each year, Job Corps gives tens of thousands of youth a second chance to complete their education and advance into careers, higher education or the military.

In a year of of chaos and struggle, these employees went above and beyond their normal duties to provide exceptional services to the young adults of the Maui Job Corps Center.
