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.

No regional figures for this program's city

Van Nuys is not one of the metropolitan or rural areas California names when it publishes wages and openings. A neighbouring area's figures would look exactly like a correct answer, so none are shown and the statewide figures stand alone. About half of California's programs are in this position.

Managers, All Other

The Department publishes no list of daily tasks for this job. This is how it describes the work instead.

All managers not listed separately.

Typical pay in California: $177,489per year
Projected openings: 175,120
Projected change: +9.7%
Usually needs: Bachelor's degree

Getting in

Experience needed first: Under 5 years in a related job
Training after you are hired: None

Employers usually expect some time in a related job as well as the training. Ask the provider what their graduates did before they were hired.

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.

What people in this job actually studied

Most common: Four-year degree — 36% of the people doing this work.

California says this job usually needs: Bachelor's degree. 42% of the people doing it went less far than that.

No high school diploma: 3%
High school diploma: 14%
Started college, no degree: 17%
Two-year degree: 8%
Four-year degree: 36%
Master's degree: 18%
Doctorate or professional degree: 4%

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.

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.
