The Gary Job Corps Center in San Marcos provides free technical training to students, ages 16 to 24, who meet government assistance income guidelines. The school has an accredited high school, as well as a technical college where students can learn to be machinists, carpenters, welders, plumbers, chefs, computer technicians, etc. The school can also provide up to 21 college semester hours, which can be transferred to Texas State Technical College. “Best of all, Job Corps is a federally-funded program,” said Gary Center Director Dean Hoffman in a press release. “Students receive training that’s valued at $5,000 a year, at no personal cost. It’s like attending a community or technical college for free.” For more info, call 512/203-8189.
