"I really want to thank Ms. Wanda and the SoCal Pre Apprenticeship program for giving me some direction and getting me started on the path to finding a career path. Taking those classes were vital in tuning my time management, communication skills and eventually starting a job that gave me foundational Electrician skills. Just being open to learning something new made me realize I could learn anything and start fresh which has led me into healthcare. Thank you all for what you do."

“I would definitely recommend this course to others because I really liked the way the instructors took their time to explain the subjects in detail, especially in business math and communications math. I really enjoyed this time with all my classmates.

It was a good refresher for me after being out of school for a long time. This was my first time taking a hybrid-online class and I’ve learned many new things. I’m going to be honest, I was scared at first, but now I know how it works and I’m ready to continue with my Medical Billing course.

Thank you, Savanna, for all your support. Ms. Wanda, this is a great program. Thank you for giving us a second chance to make things better.”

“Thank you for this program. I learned a lot. The professors explained the lectures very well and made sure we all understood. I have grown in presenting in front of others. I get nervous when I have to do a presentation, but this program has helped me relax and be confident.”

Keyla (Cohort 5)

This was my first adult environment experience and I’m glad to say I’ve enjoyed it. I feel like I’m able to communicate and socialize with other adults even though I am younger than them.

I would recommend this program to others because anybody can complete it and what you earn at the end is worth it. You feel a sense of community and a sense that everyone cares for one another. The professors were great, and everyone was friendly and helpful when help was needed. It’s been a great experience.”

“I enjoyed the program and would recommend it to others. It is a good investment in oneself. The work and commitment we had to put in prepares us for future commitments. Thank you for having me and giving me this opportunity.”
