This has to do with their telemarketing arm concerning outreach towards Cal-Fresh recipients. The callers do not tell you everything about the training assistance programs up-front: that it is a lottery system which randomly assigns you into one of 3 groups of varying types of services, all of which do not specify any actual programs.

To get you to come into their office, they falsely lead you to believe that you will receive $1000 tuition assistance by making you sign over your SS# to participate in government sponsored surveys and third-party data collectors.

Be forewarned: if you choose to sign up for their so-called "study", you effectively will be giving up your right to privacy and will allow survey takers and data collectors to call you; to come to your door at your residence; and file away personal & financial data and information unrelated to your direct personal career growth or work-training advocacy. They also do not guarantee the confidentiality of said data.

Think twice before you sign! The lottery system in which they enroll you in is not a guarantee that you will receive any services relating to career development or, for this matter, the fictitious $1000 tuition money that they wave in front of you. In fact it could work against you!

To append further: physical office was run-down, unkempt and processor(s) was unknowledgeable of programs, aggressive, and rude.
