Cleveland Job Corps will begin a ‘phased pause in operations’
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The Trump Administration announced that Job Corps centers will begin a “phased pause in operations,” including the Job Corps center in Cleveland, according to Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11)
The Department of Labor stated that their decision “aligns with the President’s FY 2026 budget proposal,” which calls for eliminating Job Corps. (page 28)
“This decision is a betrayal of young people in Cleveland who rely on Job Corps to take control of their own future,” said Congresswoman Shontel Brown. “For 60 years, Job Corps has provided low-income youth with the skills, training, and support they need to stand on their own two feet. In Cleveland, that legacy runs deep through our trades, our hospitals, and our regional workforce. Instead of abruptly closing this center and others across the country, the Trump Administration should work to improve the program so that we continue to invest in workforce development.”
The Job Corps is a federal job training and education program designed to serve low-income youth between the ages of 16 and 24 who face barriers to education and employment, founded by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.
The Cleveland Job Corps Center has played a pivotal role in Northeast Ohio since its inception in 1965.
The Cleveland center serves nearly 400 students each year, giving them opportunities to complete high school coursework, receive technical training, and prepare for careers in industries that support our regional economy.

“No. 4014 was retired in Dec. 1961 after traveling 1,031,205 miles. Union Pacific reacquired it from the RailGiants Train Museum in Pomona, California, in 2013 and relocated it back to Cheyenne, Wyoming, for a multi-year restoration. It returned to service in May 2019 to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s Completion,” according to Union Pacific.
If you’re gathering to catch a glimpse of the storied locomotive, Union Pacific asks that you stay at least 25 feet away from the railroad tracks as it passes through.
