MARTINSBURG â A focus always on meeting the needs of students and putting them on a path of success, Blue Ridge Community and Technical College is adding another ingredient to the mix with the Job Scholars program.
The Job Scholars program is a non-residential career training grant program through the Department of Labor to help eligible students train for meaningful careers and obtain employment.
âThis is a demonstration grant that is an attempt to show what community colleges can do with a similar type system (to Job Corps),â said Cynthia Hull-Miller, BRCTC associate dean of career advancement education. âJob Corps is an entity that has a residential component, which we donât have anything to do with that part of it. Weâre taking it from a community college model to implement it in a similar type of student base.â
