Job Corps a focus for Bonamici on North Coast visit

As the situation plays out in court, Bonamici said she’s using every tool at her disposal to protect Job Corps — whether it’s questioning Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer or signing onto a letter of support for the program with nearly 200 other Democrat and Republican colleagues.  

“My way of looking at education in this country is that we need to have a path for everyone, and not everybody’s on the same path, right? And so having those paths available, like the path of Job Corps, it’s life changing,” Bonamici told staff and students.
