BUTLER TWP. — Although the U.S. Department of Labor has moved to close Job Corp centers like Keystone, U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan, R-8, Dallas Twp., said they are training students to take part in the growing economy of Northeast Pennsylvania.

“That’s something that I felt that Job Corps does exceptionally well,” Bresnahan said at a news conference on Monday, “So it’s certainly frustrating to see what they are currently going through.”


Thank you for your response.
