Dr. Cole is always fascinating to listening to with a wealth of information. Plus, he is simply a great, authentic human being. I wish the Administration would listen to this true expert on Job Corps and the value it truly brings to young, at-risk youth who simply want the opportunity to make their lives better, in a caring and supportive environment that Job Corps provides.
