1. Contact your former Job Corps center directly: This is the most efficient method. Find the contact information for the center you attended online (a web search using "[Center Name] Job Corps" should work). Look for their administrative office or registrar's office. Explain that you need a copy of your diploma and be prepared to provide identifying information such as your full name, date of birth, and dates of attendance.
2. Contact the National Job Corps website (if direct contact fails): If you can't find the contact information for your specific center or are having trouble getting a response, try contacting the national Job Corps website or a general Job Corps helpline. Their website might have a contact form or a phone number to assist you. Be prepared to provide the same identifying information as mentioned above.
3. Be prepared for potential fees: There might be a small fee associated with obtaining a replacement diploma. Inquire about this when contacting the center.
4. Allow sufficient time: Processing your request might take several weeks, so plan accordingly.
In short, contacting your former Job Corps center directly is the best first step. Be persistent and patient, as they are likely to be the most helpful in locating and issuing a replacement copy of your diploma.
