Project Manager - Job Corps is a national residential training and employment program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the National Office of Job Corps to address the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth throughout the United States. Job Corps provides educational, occupational, social and workplace skills training and support services. 

The National Office of Job Corps, through a network of Regional Offices, administers the program.  The employment and training services are delivered to youth at 122 Job Corps center campuses nationwide, and are provided by contractors and federal agencies.

Job Corps’ Contracting Officers are responsible for ensuring that contractors procure goods and services on behalf of the program in conformance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).  The FAR allows for approval of purchasing systems after a rigorous review of all purchasing manuals and procedures, which demonstrate practices that are in compliance with the FAR.   According to the FAR, if a contractor does business in excess of $25 million with the government per year, a purchasing system review should be conducted at the contractor level, rather than at the individual contract level. Therefore, a nationally contracted service to perform such reviews is appropriate.
