US to reopen training center An education and training center for troubled youths that once employed 70 people in Great Smoky Mountains National Park will soon reopen under the control of the U.S. Forest Service. The Oconaluftee Job Corps Center will be the third Job Corps under Forest Service control in North Carolina and will be one of 22 the agency runs nationwide. The Forest Service also manages the Lyndon B. Johnson Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center in Franklin and Schenck Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center near Brevard. The government spent $2.1 million on repairs at the facility, including $224,898 on the dining hall roof. Seyden said 12 former National Park Service workers would become Forest Service employees in the changeover....The Forest Service runs 22 Job Corps Centers? Why? Shows you what I know - I thought the Job Corps shut down years ago.
