Located in the midst of one of the highest density low-income neighborhoods in El Centro, this large facility on Third Street has served California's Imperial County for some 21 years and has repeatedly demonstrated its capacity to serve hundreds of students in job-skills training.

The Center for Employment Training (CET) is one of the country's largest, most effective employment training programs, focused on those who need help the most. A nonprofit organization, CET was established and headquartered in San Jose, CA in 1967 and has grown to a national network of 33 educational centers in 12 states. Working in joint venture with the private sector, CET has successfully trained and placed more than 100,000 people over the last 35 years.
