I'm spending my time correcting teenagers and drug addicts instead of focusing on my trade. For how strict the program is on minor details, they are dangerously lenient during non-training hours. There is a total lack of authority because the staff, who are underpaid, would rather be friends with students than enforce rules. This has led to a breakdown in respect where the "bad" students outweigh the good, leaving those of us who actually have some smarts and care about our futures feeling like we're in a lost cause. The living conditions are horrid and borderline unsanitary. You can't even use the bathroom properly because stalls are missing toilet paper or don't close, and public restrooms are locked up because students use them for drugs or sex. While both are government-funded, local public schools beat Job Corps in every category from food quality to quantity. The system doesn't separate age groups or progress levels, so you're lumped in with a mix of 16-to-24-year-olds regardless of maturity. The Career Preparation Period (CPP) is a useless facade, and while they try to pamper you with activities the first week, it's all just a front to hide the reality of the program. Security and oversight are fundamentally broken. The screening process is a joke; students exploit the system by bringing in THC pens and other contraband because bags are barely checked and metal detectors are bypassed. Even when caught, Resident Assistants are often too lenient, assigning meaningless "details" that no one actually completes. There is a deep inconsistency in how rules are enforced; one day a manager tells you that you have "too much stuff" despite it being on your inventory, and the next, an RA is ignoring blatant drug use because they are friends with the students. Some staff members are even rumored to be supplying the substances themselves. The turnover rate for both staff and students is nonstop, which halts any real progress. I'm making no headway in my trade because of a poor culinary instructor who relies on favoritism rather than education. It feels like the program has strayed from its original purpose of providing opportunity and has instead become a dumping ground for parents who can't handle their children. This isn't a place for rehabilitation or learning anymore; it's a place of poverty-level conditions and failed bureaucracy. The only reason I stayed so long is for the free healthcare and driver's license, but the bad consistently outshines the good. Unless there is a massive overhaul in how they handle safety, substance abuse, and basic living standards, nothing here will ever change.

Due to the practice in class I was prepared for the in person experience towards the end of the program at the long term care facilities.

I recieved no feed back at all, just hoped I was headed in the right direction. I passed my certification because I studied hard to learn the information and pass the exam. I told them I needed a keyboarding class or internet class of some kind. They just left me to figure it out myself. They say they offer job placement but I only got a couple of emails and then nothing. I feel ignored and taken advantage of. I graduated 6 months ago and still don't have a job. They say they will make a Professional Resume for you and you take a course to learn how to be interviewed and in the course you do resume worksheets, True Colors personality tests and also list all the jobs you've ever had, but in the end Michigan Works told me that my Professional Resume was the worst. There were typos and mispelled words they said if I had applied to them they wouldn't even look at it. In the end I felt like just a dollar sign to them. Everything they did for me was the very bare minnimum of what they promised. I am so discouraged and angry about this whole experience. I expected to graduate and get a GOOD job, not still be where I was before signing up.

I have been regularly taking classes at Bravo Arts Academy since it opened in May 2016. I really…read moreenjoy all of different classes offered and a big part of that is the main instructor, Alison Peterson-Loll. She has taken her extensive dance background and applied it to a variety of workout and dance classes for adults and kids. She is excellent at helping a new student feel comfortable starting a workout routine and a master at challenging her established students to keep pushing themselves. She is also awesome at adapting a movement or position to limitations we might have with an injury or chronic problem. I have been doing Cardio Barre class (low impact stretching and strengthening cardio class using ballet-inspired movements and poses) with the owner once or twice a week for over 3 years (beginning at a prior location) and continue to find this an effective workout both for beginners with no dance background and, with layered in technique boosters, more advanced participants. I take her Plank It class twice a week as well. This 30 minute workout of 2-3 minute routines of Plank poses and transitions to upbeat music is an efficient way to target strengthening the core abdominal muscles along with sculpting the legs, arms and back. The most recent addition for her teen and adult classes are the aerial silk yoga and fitness classes. Follow Bravo Arts Academy on Instagram or check out the Facebook page/website for photos and videos of these unique classes. In silk hammocks suspended from the ceiling (silk holds over 500 lbs and rigging is rated to hold over 2000 lbs), we do stretches, poses, core challenges, flips, and more. The yoga class is low to no impact and requires no yoga experience. Anyone, no matter their age, athletic level or body type can participate successfully. It is a combination of meditation, hybrid yoga/dance moves and poses assisted by the silk and some inversions. As a motion sickness suffering, I tolerate this class with only a few adaptations and this has actually improved the more I do silk classes. The aerial silk fitness class is for people who want a little more challenge/physical workout invoking more strength moves and involved poses and inversions. However we all start out as beginners and this is again something that is pretty easy to pick up and then build upon the skills you learn in each class. Once you master a trick that you've seen on the website or saw another student do the class before, you are hooked, wanting to see what you can do next. One of the main themes of the classes I take is that they are a lot of fun and unique so you often walk away realizing what a great workout you got doing something that didn't feel like boring exercise. So, as you can tell, I am a big fan of Bravo Arts Academy and I didn't even talk about the excellent instruction done for the children's ballet, jazz and tap dance classes.
