Academy Set on 22 acres in picturesque Exeter, Rhode Island, the Exeter Job Corps
Academy’s state-of-the-art academic and career technical training facility opened its doors to New England’s youth in 2004. The Exeter Job Corps Academy annually serves 450 students in its beautiful south-central rural location, just
20 minutes from downtown Providence and 15 minutes from historic Newport. The Exeter Academy
maintains outstanding partnerships and working relationships with business, educational
and community leaders throughout the State of Rhode Island.
Job Corps is America’s leading career technical skills
training and education program for youth ages 16 through 24. The Exeter Job Corps Academy offers southern New England’s youth the
opportunity to achieve a high school diploma or a GED, learn a career technical

enrollment into higher education, or enlistment with the armed forces.

up to two years and can learn
at their own pace in this open entry-open exit program.

local organizations.
