The National Job Corps Association was allowed to continue its operations after a federal judge on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction to stop the U.S. Department of Labor from shutting it down.
Melissa Graf is the executive director of Life Skills Connection, an organization that contracts with Job Corps in other parts of the country. She said the decision allows programs like Flint Hills Job Corps in Manhattan to continue operations, at least for now.
“While not permanent, the national injunction is a significant milestone because it allows all campuses to stay open while the entire litigation process plays out, which can take a long time,” she said.
