Build Skills

I want to build skills.

Picture your new future – Do you see yourself in a health career? Maybe working with computers in the IT field or becoming a paralegal sound like a better fit. San Mateo County Consortium for Adult & Career Education adult schools offer career classes, many of which lead to industry certifications. That means you are ready to start an entry-level job after you complete the program and pass any required certification exams.

Career training courses are short-term, lasting only weeks or months. This puts you into a better-paying job or career quickly, and you can continue to build on your education by enrolling at your local community college and earning more certifications or working toward an associate degree.

The skills you learn will help lead you to a higher-paying job and will be useful no matter where you go, making the investment of time and money well worth it.

More skills means:

Explore Career Options: Healthcare, IT, legal services, and more.
Earn Certifications: Gain credentials for entry-level jobs.
Fast, Focused Training: Complete programs in weeks or months.
Keep Learning: Build toward college certificates or degrees.
Skills That Travel: Learn practical tools for better-paying jobs.
