The Glenmont Job Corps Academy is located just 5 miles south of Albany, New York. The campus is approximately 100 prime acres of picturesque country property adjacent to the Hudson River. The Academy provides training services to approximately 700 students annually. Students attending this campus are primarily from the New York City, Yonkers, Poughkeepsie, Capital District and Upstate New York areas.
The Glenmont Job Corps Academy houses approximately 340 students in four on-campus dorms and offers career technical training in 6 career paths as well as a GED program, on-line High School Diploma, Career Success Standards, Student Government and Leadership.
The Glenmont Job Corps Academy was formerly known as “Our Lady of Angels Seminary” prior to becoming the New York Job Corps Center in 1976. It is evident that the Academy was a former seminary because of its two chapels that have beautiful stained glass windows and copper roofs. The Academy is scheduled to undergo a number of much needed updates which will include an addition to the Recreational Field House. The addition of space will greatly enhance the activities available to students during their leisure time hours. In the future, the Academy will be getting new dormitories with many updated features.
While the Academy is located in a rural setting, it is only 5 – 10 minutes from either Glenmont or Albany. Albany is the Capitol of New York State and has many wonderful sites to visit. The Albany area offers many opportunities for students seeking leisure time employment, Work Based Learning, and community service opportunities. Graduates willing to relocate will find a competitive job market and affordable housing.
