“It is an honor to deliver the keynote speech,” said Dr. Bizzell. “This is an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of these bright young people as they embark on the next step in their journey. I look forward to seeing what a lasting impact they will make on our world with their knowledge and perseverance.”

The New Haven Job Corps Center offers programs from 6–24 months depending on the career trajectory. The goal is to place every student into a sustainable job by the time they graduate from the program. New Haven is a full-service site where up to 132 students can live in the dormitories; 25 commute from nearby.

Other speakers include a student poem reading by Mr. Antonio Black, as well as a tribute song by graduate, Ms. Ellen E. Dossous. Commencement for the Class of 2023 will be held on Wednesday, August 30, at 2pm, at the New Haven Job Corps Center.
