Are there any trades that provide on the job training?
Thinking about a career change but I don’t want to go back to school. Where can I get on the job training?

Mr. Jones: The best way, and factual way is to go through a career adviser. There are industries like Goodwill industries that offer free career advise services and will help you to get a job. They also have through GCF learnfree.org additional resources to learn computer applications. You may be able to talk with a counselor as well on line. I do not know how your situation is, but this is a simple way to start and find out. All the best to you, Mr. Jones and Happy New Year with great expectations for a new and rewarding job.

Try a construction apprenticeship they are everywhere

hey rich, going in as a laborer is one way to do it but you won't get too much training. The best way to get into this industry and make good money is to be skilled. Look into a training program you can do part-time or go for an apprenticeship.

Hi Richard, you can get a trade or construction job with no experience as a general laborer or helper but you should look into career training programs through the department of labor. From their site you can look up free or very low cost programs that can train you for one of these careers.

Very frustrating! Everything is online now. What happened to the face to face, pick up a job application and go from there?
