They are working so hard to provide all the resources needed for a person to achieve their goal and find a career. They have lot of programs to meet individual career interests. Amazing staff. It is very slow to onboard but once you are selected, they are the best.. read more

I took the CNA course with Xavier, who is wonderful! On-boarding takes a while and requires quite a bit of paperwork, but once you start, the program is structured well and easy to follow. They provide great resources, coaching, and financial help for supplies on top of the fact the program is free. They even provide resume and mock interview help. It's clear everyone here wants you to succeed and get a job quickly upon graduation. This is an amazing community resource not to be missed! read more

I just completed my MA course. If you're looking for a great teacher, it's Ms.K. She really knows how to best prepare you for the real world. I have a disability and never once doubted me and was very accommodating but didn't view or treat me differently. This program saved me financially and got my foot in the door in the healthcare field. Getting placed at Kaiser for my externship will make it a bit easier to find work going further. Most other trade schools make you pay thousands and have you clueless. Life is hectic but I learned how to balance work and school and advocate for myself and my learning I'm so grateful for JobTrain. In this program the effort you put in truly reflects what you get out of it. I loved this experience and so excited for what's to come! read more

Generally speaking the attitude is this is a free service so you must do what we say. Disorganized and don't seem to use common sense. I know it's a non profit but please try to hire better staff or provide better training. From the beginning it's been a ridiculous process. read more

Disappointed I was looking forward starting a program submitted everything and they didn't seem to care about getting things processed on time to start the program. The communication was minimum and I had turned down a job to comply being able to attend the classes. read more

Every day, I see how dedicated and committed staff are to helping clients reach their dreams. Meeting people where there are and helping them access the opportunities they need to succeed. This morning, a student thanked me for making him feel welcomed and that he belonged, and for giving him the confidence to know he can turn his life around. This is the goal of staff - to give everyone the tools and training to reach economic mobility and success. You won't be disappointed if you visit JobTrain at jobtrainworks.org read more

JobTrain - Our construction class helping update the building sign! - Adult Education Near Me - Menlo Park, California

JobTrain has completely changed my life! The instructor Ms.Rosco, who teaches the evening medical assisting course does everything in her power to set her students up for success. She provides a warm & welcoming environment when starting the course. During class she is very thorough when teaching, which builds confidence when it comes to taking the exams as well as the clinicals. I have never second guessed myself throughout the entire course & would 100% recommend it to those who are looking to further their education! read more

Ms. Rosco is the best Instructor I've had. It's been awhile since I've been in school and it means the most when you have a teacher who not only emphasizes with you, but also pushes you to be your greatest. Ms. Rosco has helped me keep myself accountable during this program and I wouldn't have gotten through without her encouraging words always pushing me. She shows up for us and we show up for her. I wouldn't have it any other way read more

Schools full of lies took building maintenance there and didn't know enough to hold a building maintenance job I wish I can give it zero stars. Didn't teach hvac or boilers the two main things a building maintenance tech needs to know read more

Excellent program with hands on training and it's all for free. Marty and Elaine are great.

Ms. Rosco, a funny and amazing instructor for the evening class. She teaches the medical assisting program.

This organization and the partnerships they develop are exactly what the communities they serve need. Over their 27 years of existence, they have trained and served thousands. I was on a call this week searching for space to conduct medical assistant training in North San Mateo County and the lady on the other end from the South San Francisco school district mentioned that her son completed the culinary arts training several years back and it did wonders for his self-esteem and the development of his work ethic. Keep up the good work JobTrain--I look forward to visiting you at your new location in 2025 in East Palo Alto. read more

Tim was my instructor for 7 months and was definitely the best instructor/ math tutor there . He works with 5 keys!! Without his help I would have definitely not gotten my high school diploma. I had so many questions and he was always right there to help with so much patience and dedication. He never not picked up the phone when I called about info and made sure I stayed on the right path to finish my studies . Big Thank-you to him . In my opinion he's one of the best teachers I've ever had . read more

Pros: - very nice, friendly, and helpful people - provide a lot of helpful tips for job search - no issues finding parking - can use their facility to print documents, make copies, use their computer if you have a Peninsula Works card any time. Cons: - Kind of a long drive for me. Note: This is also the same building for Peninsula Works (this location is a training location and the one in Daly City is more of a workshop). read more

the MA evening class is wonderful! ms rosco is a great teacher and the enrollment process was easy and informative

Jobtrain is a great school! The atmosphere of support and drive to Their focus and determination to serve the community around them is astounding. I was lucky enough to take the medical assisting class with one of the greatest instructors they have, Mrs. G (Geetika). She is full of knowledge and really knows what she's talking about. Her educational and professional background coupled with her wonderful ability to teach she was a great resource of information. Apart from that Mrs. G showed sincere concern for all of her students, and her drive for each one to succeed in the field can be compared to none. Mrs. G continues to check in on me and I've graduated two cycles ago. I'm lucky to have such a great person continually pushing me to be better. Mrs. G is one of those rare teachers who actually cares. If you find yourself wanting to better your future, take her medical assisting class and watch your future brighten beyond your dreams. Thank you Mrs. G and JobTrain! read more

Great place, I went through JobTrain's Web Development/ Salesforce program. The staff is really committed at helping the students and providing them with the tools to succeed in the work place. JT is a well connected program with Silicon valley companies that make the job search easier. read more

I am very satisfied and inspired by the community atmosphere at JobTrain as well as the level of education. I hold a BA from a CA State University and have also attended community college for continued learning. Like many hardworking people I found myself out of work due to the economy and when the opportunity to take a class here I was first skeptical. But the resigned feelings I had after a couple months of fruitless job searching are no more after taking the Medical Office Assistant Class. I also have received resume help, as well as mock type interviews with HR reps from the likes of Google and Hewlett Packard. If you are struggling to find work for whatever reason and need a boost to up your skills, or perhaps like me go back for even more school after, this is a good start read more

Be extremely careful here if you have any form of a disability. Staff is very kind and professional, but they really have very little savvy and resources to help out members of the disabled population. read more

Where can you go and get free training, help with job search, and support? I haven't gone through their programs but I have donated office equipment, clothes and $. Once a year they host a Breakfast of Champions. They give their top graduates awards and you can hear their stories. People temporarily out of work, who find with a little luck, hard work, and perseverance -- careers. It's a great non-profit helping people become a part of the work force. read more

Worse place ever Shannon and Geetika worse staff ever! They must of forgot they were working in a poverty area so they don't know how to handle the students nor deal with certain situations because they're upbringing was so positive and finically stable they look down upon others that are less then them and struggle! Specially Geetika if your struggling she will announce it to everyone and make it worse if I can give this no star and just my reasoning I would! Worse place to ever attend they are so despiteful and discouraging! read more

Be careful. I signed up for Office Skills because I wanted to learn QuickBooks and because is was open enrollment. I got to the orientation 15 mins early to make sure I was on time, and then the guy came 15 mins late and didn't apologize. He was one of those people who likes to give information but doesn't like to be corrected when wrong. I also noticed that he talked to us like none of us were professionals. I know that there were a lot of people there to take their GED, but he treated everyone like they hadn't graduated from high school. Actually his name was John and he didn't seem to like us very much. I signed up to see my counselor the next day. She told me I had to register with Canada (I'm already a student at another college) and that my class wouldn't start until Novermber because it was full for October. The woman who took my information should've told me all of this when I signed up so I could make a decision. People are desperate to find a job (myself included), and they take advantage of this to get you to sign up. Just get all of the information you need before you sign up. read more

I love the way they help the community. To serve the low income, out of work, and our youth is not easy but they do it. They have a one stop center that will help you in your search for a job, they have vocational training to improve your skills, they have youth programs, and many resources for the issues that life throws our way. They are very helpful. Their only downfall is the smokers in the front. I dont want to walk by every morning to get ambushed by 2nd hand smoke. Other than that I like it here... read more
