Career change after a layoff, where to begin? (Fresno)

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. It has been a long 18 weeks. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Has anyone made a similar move?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 4 months.
