The jobs this trains for
This describes the jobs people do, not the classes this program teaches. It comes from the U.S. Department of Labor, which asks people already doing the work. The Department publishes it in English only, so the job names and the sentences below stay in English on this page.
Trains for more than one job. The outlook shown is the weakest of them.
No regional figures for this program's city
Montebello is not one of the metropolitan or rural areas California names when it publishes wages and openings. A neighbouring area's figures would look exactly like a correct answer, so none are shown and the statewide figures stand alone. About half of California's programs are in this position.

This counts people already doing this job, across the whole United States. Every other figure on this page is California's, and the federal government publishes no state version of this one. It is what people happen to have, not a rule about who gets hired. A small row does not mean you would be turned away, and a large one is not a promise of a job.

Home Health and Personal Care Aides
Pay, hiring, and what people studied
The Department publishes no description and no task list for this job. That is a gap in the federal record, not a sign that the work is unusual.
These figures describe a wider group of jobs
California publishes no separate pay or openings figures for the occupation this program trains for (31-1122). It reports that work only inside Home Health and Personal Care Aides, the larger category the occupation classification files it under, so the pay, openings and projected change below belong to that whole category. Read them as the range this job sits inside, not as a figure for the job itself.
- Typical pay in California
- $35,189per year
- Projected openings

- Usually needs
- Not shown for this programCalifornia does publish a usual entry requirement for Home Health and Personal Care Aides, but it is one answer for the whole group and can name a degree this program's own occupation never asks for. It is left out here rather than shown beside a program it may not describe. That is this site's decision, not something the provider failed to report.

Program details
This program provides in-person instruction only.
Montebello Community Adult School's Personal Care Aide program is an 8 week, 90-hour module course which prepares students for entry level employment as a Personal Care Aide in a home setting, long-term care/rehabilitation facility or a community/social service placement. This course, designed for in-home and assisted living caregivers, includes training in ethics, client's rights, and elder abuse. The course also covers topics such as infection control, proper body mechanics, training in emergency first aid, personal care, and assistance with daily living tasks. The activities of daily living topics include bathing, eating, getting around, getting dressed, and using the bathroom. Throughout the course, students are taught to respect the individual's rights to privacy and dignity to provide care in such a way that the person's independence is enhanced and supported. Additional out of pocket student fees are approximately $170.00 (Certification and Live Scan).
Someone else may be able to pay for this
This program was on California's Eligible Training Provider List when the state last reported it to the U.S. Department of Labor (2026-08-04). Programs on that list can be paid for through an Individual Training Account. Listings are renewed periodically and can lapse, so a program listed when the state last reported may not be listed today. Ask before you rely on it.
The place to ask is an America's Job Center of California
A comprehensive center is where all the required partner programs can be reached; an affiliate site offers some of them. California's Employment Development Department directs people to CareerOneStop's finder to locate one. Contacting a center before traveling is worth it — the state notes that its own staff are not physically present at every location.

How this gets paid for, and what to ask →
Whether a person can have a program paid for is decided by their local workforce development board and the America's Job Center staff who interview them — not by this site, and not by the training provider. California has 45 local workforce development areas and each sets its own policies, so the answer can differ between two people in neighboring counties. Nothing here is a promise of funding or a determination of eligibility.
The rules cited here, and the state and federal sites linked to, are published in English.
