The door is open and
the opportunities for your future are endless!
Your training begins your
first day on center. Placement in the high school or GED program will
follow the successful completion of the Career Preparation Period (CPP). Assessment test
scores will assist us in making the best decision for your future.
Readiness for the
state GED exam is determined by the above mentioned tests, the classroom
instructor, and the amount of necessary class work completed. You will
earn an Oklahoma High School diploma from the State Department of Education when
you successfully complete the GED program.
Talking
Leaves Job Corps is fully accredited by the Oklahoma State Department of
Education to issue high school diplomas.
Once all required and elective classes, vocation, and necessary testing have been
successfully completed and verified by designated staff you will be issued your
Oklahoma Job Corps Academy (Talking Leaves campus) high school diploma.
You must complete an on-center vocation to receive this diploma.
Advanced Career
Training (ACT) is for those students who desire to extend their training.
Students must meet all necessary requirements to enter this program.
Information is available from either the Academic or Vocation Supervisor.
You must have

Job Corps. Representatives from various branches of
the service are available to speak with you during your training and assist you
with plans when you graduate from Talking Leaves.
