Technical and Vocational Certificates | Internships and Apprenticeships 

For vocational or classroom training for individuals 16 and older and not currently enrolled in high school, contact your local department of education office.  Most counties have an adult education program; classes are available to assist you in acquiring your G.E.D. or your high school diploma.  The adult programs also offer literacy programs and English as a second language (E.S.L.).

In Glenn County take a look at the G.A.P. (Glenn Adult Program) schedule:http://www.Glenn-co.k12.ca.us/gcoe/GAP/Welcome.html

For high school graduates; for non high school graduates at least 18 years of age or for individuals under 18 years of age who have a G.E.D. or who have passed the California proficiency exam Community College is the best place to earn your A.A. (associate of arts) certificate.
