One college is helping students prepare for a local company’s pre-employment test.

Fresno City College recently began offering a course that prepares students for Pacific Gas & Electric Co.’s pre-employment test. Those who pass the test, aimed at hiring workers for maintenance and construction jobs, have the opportunity to secure California jobs with starting salaries of $70,000 per year.
