The jobs this trains for
This describes the jobs people do, not the classes this program teaches. It comes from the U.S. Department of Labor, which asks people already doing the work. The Department publishes it in English only, so the job names and the sentences below stay in English on this page.

California projects this job will shrink over the next ten years. Fewer openings may mean a harder search.
Trains for more than one job. The outlook shown is the weakest of them.
Where California publishes a separate figure for Modesto MSA (Stanislaus County), it appears beneath the statewide one. Statewide stays the headline: people who train here do not necessarily work here.

This counts people already doing this job, across the whole United States. Every other figure on this page is California's, and the federal government publishes no state version of this one. It is what people happen to have, not a rule about who gets hired. A small row does not mean you would be turned away, and a large one is not a promise of a job.

Program details
This program provides in-person instruction only.
The objective of this program is to provide students with the skills and knowledge to work in an entry-level position in an office environment as an Accounting Clerk. Additionally, you are qualified to work in customer service or a general office environment. The program focus is primarily on accounting and computer applications. This program goes more depth than the Administrative Accounting Clerk I program. Word processing and electronic spreadsheets are the two main computer applications used in the business environment. Microsoft Windows, the leading operating environment, will be covered. The need to know these programs is vital for every accounting position. Accounting is taught in small groups by an instructor. An instructor teaches computer skills with a hands-on approach in small groups. This small group size enables students to focus on the task at hand and get individual help if needed to fully accomplish lessons. Upon successful completion of the program a certificate of achievement is awarded.
Someone else may be able to pay for this
This program was on California's Eligible Training Provider List when the state last reported it to the U.S. Department of Labor (2026-08-04). Programs on that list can be paid for through an Individual Training Account. Listings are renewed periodically and can lapse, so a program listed when the state last reported may not be listed today. Ask before you rely on it.

How this gets paid for, and what to ask →
Whether a person can have a program paid for is decided by their local workforce development board and the America's Job Center staff who interview them — not by this site, and not by the training provider. California has 45 local workforce development areas and each sets its own policies, so the answer can differ between two people in neighboring counties. Nothing here is a promise of funding or a determination of eligibility.
The rules cited here, and the state and federal sites linked to, are published in English.
