The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the minimum education needed to perform the job of a Juvenile Correction Officer. They want to hear if you have your high school diploma or GED, a related degree, certificates, or any other specialized training that qualifies you to work in this field.

Focus on describing your education as it relates to the position. If the institution requires an associate's or bachelor's degree, explain what type of degree you obtained. If you do not have post-secondary training and the role calls for a high school diploma or GED, tell the interviewer which you possess.

Avoid not having the education required for the position. Suppose the job description calls for a Juvenile Correction Officer with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or another related field. In that case, be sure you meet the requirements before applying for the job.

"I obtained my bachelor's degree in criminal justice three years ago from Nevada State College. I then attended a Correction Officer Training Academy to determine if this was the field I wanted to pursue. After completing the academy, I decided this was indeed the career for me."
