I am a college student and I understand that before getting accepted to a university, you have to past or have an acceptable SAT score. Now recently a friend of mines applied to the Philadelphia Job Corp site. Now everyone has to take an placement test before starting the program. My friend went in to take the test and weeks later recieved a call from Job Corp reporting that he was not accepted. Now I called back to find out why and they told me at that time that he didn't pas the math portion of the test. Now my question is "Why do they advertise that they want to help, but if an indiviual don't pass on subject you turn them down?"  I don't like programs that are meant to build our uneducated men and women, but then turn them down by saying they are not good enough. I think that these programs need to stop claiming to be a community builder and say that it's just an "positive public eye catcher."

I talked to one of the managers at Job Corp and I still don't think that it's right. Also I believe that this info should be announced on the phone while potential students are sceduling their assessment testing dates.
