The Center for Employment Training (CET) National Headquarters has been a pillar in the community of San José, Silicon Valley since 1967 and currently operates Centers in California, Texas and Virginia.
CET National Headquarters is celebrating its golden anniversary and we have much to celebrate! CET began in 1967 in San José, CA, when farmlands were being cleared to make way for the new industrial growth in the valley and many were losing their only source of income. Our founders knew that the only way for San José’s farm worker and low-income, hard-working community to partake in the new tech jobs was through education and training and so, CET began. Since that time we have transformed over 200,000 lives.
