Westover Job Corps gets new management while culinary candidates are in demand
Westover Job Corps Center, with 234 students at its Johnson Road location, has a new management company under an $82 million, two-year contract — part of a regular churn of contractors within Job Corps locations across the country. The U.S. Department of Labor issued the contract Aug. 3 to Alternate Perspectives Inc., of Leesburg, Virginia. Alternative Perspectives already operates the Shriver Job Corps in Devens, Massachusetts, among other locations. Alternate Perspectives declined to answer questions about the contract, except to say that it is now reorganizing the center to fit its model.
