Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Job Corps Regional Offices Skyline High School Writes Script For Show Established In Denver The establishment of a Job Corps Administration to serve six states out of the Denver Regional Offices was announced by Frank A. (Tod) Potter, Regional Manpower Administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor. Robert M. Shrake, 42, formerly director of the Division of Center Operations for Job Corps in Washington, D.C., has been appointed to head the offices serving Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah. His position is Assistant Regional Manpower Administrator for Job Corps. The creation of the offices as of July 1 in Denver means that the new administration will assume full operating and administrative responsibility for the seven Job Corps Centers in the region. It will also have liaison with all other regions and the national office. Additionally, it will have responsibility for the smaller womens transitional center operated in Denver by the YWCA. It is anticipated that 15 persons will join the Job Corps staff in Denver and there will be two personnel for JACS (Joint Action in Community Service) and Women in Community Service, supportive volunteer groups that help Job Corps carry out its function in the community. Shrake has been with Job Corps since August, 1964, and previous to his last position was associate director for Job Corps Conservation Centers for three years. Our goal is to increase the services to youth in the six states by increasing the number of youth from these states in the Job Corps program. he said. The seven Job Corps Centers have a capacity of about 2700. Most of the enrollees are from outside the region, but increased youth participation from within the region is anticipated with the staff just added in the region. Efforts at contact with the community groups have already begun, he said citing efforts by Job Corps to develop a program to interest Chicano, Black and Indian participation regionally. In conjunction with this, Dr. Xavier Mena, deputy director of the Job Corps in Washington, is tentatively scheduled to meet with various community groups in July to encourage program participation.
