Like all Job Corps centers, it provides vocational training and education at no cost to participants, who are 16 to 24 years old.

Red Rock is on Pennsylvania Route 487 (PA 487) within Ricketts Glen State Park, and is still the site of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) radar used for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport. The Red Rock Job Corps Center has been recognized as one of the top Job Corps centers in the nation. The center is within Ricketts Glen State Park, which opened in 1944 and is mostly on land once owned by lumber baron Robert Bruce Ricketts, for whom the park is named.
