1970 Wolf Creek Job Corps alum and former governor of Idaho, Sergio A. Gutierrez, visited his former campus for the 60th anniversary to share the impact Job Corps had on his life. Job Corps helped Gutierrez get his GED, which propelled him on getting his Bachelor of Arts degree, cum laude, in elementary education from Boise State University. He went on to earn his juris doctor degree from the University of California, College of the Law, San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings) and became a practicing lawyer, and eventually the governor of Idaho. Gutierrez believes that Job Corps saved his life. Read more about his story here: https://lnkd.in/gN6jFZia
