Job Corps Makeover

The New York Times has a nice article about changes at Job Corps. I was a little worried when I read about their focus on increasing educational attainment. (I'm not anti-education... I just want to see it connected to employment!) I'm happy to see that their focus is, appropriately, on ensuring strong economic prospects. I'd love to see this article dig deeper. If our country truly made a commitment to helping poor kids, what would this program need to look like?
