Join Us on August 15, 2024 at 10:00AM Eastern Time for a Job Corps Outreach Event! Greetings: A Job Corps virtual outreach event will be held on August 15, 2024. The event is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Office of the Senior Procurement Executive (OSPE), Job Corps Acquisition Services (JCAS). This event is free of charge to all participants and will be virtual. Background/Overview: Job Corps is a residential and non-residential training program that serves youth ages 16 to 24 with Job Corps Centers throughout the nation. Job Corps provides comprehensive career development services to students including academic, career technical, career success and independent living skills, career readiness training, and support services. The unique combination of services provided in Job Corps is intended to prepare youth to obtain and hold gainful employment, pursue further education or training, or satisfy entrance requirements for careers in the Armed Forces. Who Should Attend: Any Large or Small business entities interested in learning about Service Contract Labor Standards or SCLS (formerly the Service Contract Act of 1965). We will briefly discuss SCLS and its applicability to government contracts, to include wage determinations, as well as the conformance and indexing processes. DOL is especially interested in reaching entities in underserved communities, such as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color, members of religious minorities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons, persons with disabilities, and persons who live in rural areas. Benefits of Attending: Attendees will gain a better understanding of SCLS, which should aid in the proposal development process if/when responding to government contract opportunities in support of the Job Corps Program and other government contract opportunities.
