The Job Corp program was just one year old when
these trainees went on a cruise aboard the Albatross IV. The Albatross
IV was a new vessel at the time, in the third year of what became 40+
years of service.
Established in 1964 as part of President Lyndon Johnsons antipoverty
program, Job Corp is an educational and vocational training program for
16- to 24-year-olds.
