With a high amount of area employers looking to fill their staffs with quality employees, it’s a good time for you to think about the skills you have and how you could sharpen them. Executive Director at Bay Area Workforce Development Matt Valiquette points out the numerous quality area employers and the universities specializing in vocational education, saying that it may just take a couple of classes or a few credits to greatly increase your employability and potential for higher wages. Valiquette also says not to rule out post-secondary education based on your age or past experiences.
Valiquette adds that you can find out about your scholarship eligibility by calling one of their centers.
