I am a student at the Job Corp Program in
Loring, Maine. I've had to deal with the hastle of waiting to get into my trade which is Cisco Systems.
The problems I had to deal with more or less have been with the higher ups here.
When I arrived I helped a student bring his luggage on a plane and spotted him 50 dollars to get luggage aboard a plane from Boston, MA to the airport in Maine.
I asked many of the RA's of how to reimburse me for my money. The recruiter in New Haven, CT by the name of Gene Woodcock told us to only bring $40.00 for food and nothing more towards the weight limit of the luggage.
I helped the student out and had to fight tooth and nail talking to various people to get my money. The reaction I got was that they weren't going to do a thing and stick me with a loss of $50.00
It took a week in a half to get reimbursed.
During that time of waiting I had two stories being told to me.
1. I wouldn't get my money baqck
2. The money would be coming to me
I got the money and that situation is solved.
But there many more problems with the center.
A student damaged the drop ceilings and punched hole in a sheetrock column. The next day more holes were made and a emergency meeting was held.
All the students were threatened by a female security officer to incure the cost of damage that was done by the person destroying the wing.
If I didn't witness it and a few other people didn't see it we shouldn't be punished for something we didn't do.
I am watching everything that is involved with the RA's and the little amount of money I make.
And will call Department Of Labor if any illegal activity happens.
All I wanted to do was get a certification for a trade and what I entered is more or less a low budget government hack job to scam people not only of their time and money but a way to get educated.
The main problem is seeing people take the initiative to do their jobs when someone has the things to get started to a trade.
I have a drivers license, I have a GED, And worked various jobs for six years for numerous companies involving Plumbing which I never got a certification for, because of bosses breaking promises to put me through an apprenticeship program.
I came here to get a certification and I will accomplish it one way or the other.
I have a few names of the people involving the sta
