About this case

Seven Job Corps students represented by Public Citizen and the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a class-action lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Labor’s pauses and proposed closure of Job Corps centers nationwide, which provide education, career training, housing, and related services to low-income young adults. The matter reached a federal settlement under which the Department of Labor agreed to rescind the pauses and not proceed with the described closures.
