Loss of Milwaukee Job Corps Center a Massive Detriment for the Community
Statement of Alderwoman Larresa Taylor June 4, 2025
The 9th District and City of Milwaukee are set to suffer another tragedy at the hands of the federal administration, this time in the form of losing the Milwaukee Job Corps Center at 6665 N. 60th St. The U.S. Department of Labor announced a phased pause of all Job Corps Centers nationwide, with workers seeing their jobs terminated between June 6 and June 30.
Furthermore, the Milwaukee Job Corps Center was set to be a very instrumental partner with the forthcoming tiny homes for veterans, as the two sites being so close in proximity had the potential to spawn a long, successful partnership for all those involved.
Losing funding to continue the Milwaukee Job Corps Center is a loss for us all, and I fear the ripple effects will be felt across the community.
