What happened to people who took this
No outcomes reported for this program
About a third of California programs report nothing. That is a fact about the program's reporting, not evidence that it works or does not.
The job 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.
Where California publishes a separate figure for Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom MSA (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo Counties), it appears beneath the statewide one. Statewide stays the headline: people who train here do not necessarily work here.

The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2026 figures for Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom MSA (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo Counties) beside the same figures for the whole state.

- Training after you are hired
- An apprenticeship
People usually enter this job through an apprenticeship rather than from a classroom course alone. Ask the provider whether this program leads to one.
These are the federal government's answers for the occupation, not rules this provider sets. California publishes the same two answers for every one of these jobs.

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.
All apprenticeship programs that are registered with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Apprenticeship, or approved by California (CA) Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS), are automatically eligible to be included on the CA Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). Apprenticeship programs are a written plan designed to move an apprentice from a low or no skill entry-level position to full occupational proficiency. The apprenticeship program is sponsored by an employer, and upon completing the training program, an apprentice earns a Completion of Registered Apprenticeship certificate, which is an industry-issued, nationally-recognized credential.
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.
