Hays County Commissioners Court recognized Gary Job Corps Groundhog week, in which GJC students shadow professionals working in the careers they are pursuing.
“The Gary Job Corps Center in San Marcos has made a positive and lasting difference in the lives of countless young Texans, and during the week of Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, 2025, proud staff, students and supporters are gathering to mark a shared history of important work and worthwhile accomplishment,” the proclamation stated. “While the no-cost career education and technical training center administered by the U.S. Department of Labor opened in March 1965, its beginnings originated in a public announcement President Lyndon B. Johnson made at his alma mater in November 1964; with that commitment, the deactivated Gary Army Air Field was transformed into what is today the largest of 125 Job Corps centers in the nation, with more than 900 male and female students living and learning on a 775-acre campus.”
Gary Job Corps has 19 programs that it offers its students.
