Our Services

Training & Education Services
JCETP is well known for it's training services, however, we take pride in our focus on education. We utilize the CASAS test to assess grade level and knowledge of basic education in order to properly place customers in program offerings. Our goal is to ensure a high success rate for an increased likelihood of a credential in a high demand field. Our forthcoming GED/TASC preparation program will be designed for the natural progression of the students abilities. In addition to the services mentioned, JCETP also provides aid to eligible students seeking to further their education in the form of tuition waivers.

Career Development Services
Some individuals may have the skills to look for a job, but are rusty on resume and cover letter writing, interview skills, communication with employers, and a host of other career factors. In addition to providing these services, JCETP also provides a bevy of workshops that cover the entire job search process.
A full-time certified career development instructor is available to assist customers with employer-related activities. Appointments are needed and one should attend the JCETP orientation before meeting with the instructor. For more information on this service please contact us at: 551.758.7447.
