Where Can I Get Training?
Many organizations in Sacramento County offer help with employment services. Beware of private employment agencies that charge you fees for finding a job. Many give low quality training at high tuition, and encourage you to pay the tuition with expensive student loans that can ruin your credit. Use free or low cost services instead.
