District, community partnership culminates in new job training center
Young adults, parents and community members completing their educations now have a clearer pathway to pursuing their futures.
The Folsom Cordova Sacramento Works Training Center opened last month in Rancho Cordova to provide a natural transition between FCUSD’s Adult Education programs and free job training resources provided by the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership (FCCP) and Sacramento Works.
This partnership provides the access and support necessary for adults and youth to maintain their momentum on their pathway to success. The training center, at 10826 Gladsten Way, offers free computer access for job seekers, soft skills training, career-specific technical trainings, resume preparation assistance and more.
The center’s goal is to increase the self-sufficiency of vulnerable families by obtaining the skills and support needed to become employable.
During a ribbon-cutting event, local welder Briareos Coe said he was indebted to the FCCP's job-training assistance, which included his first welding class. After being previously incarcerated, he had found it difficult to find a job. Now he's celebrating his one-year work anniversary.
"I went in to get skills to help build a life, but they gave me a lot more than that," Coe said. "I love everything about my life now."
