Answer
Hi John, i would start inquiring at your local community college for the drafting & design program. Students who successfully complete the 2 year program earn an Associate Degree.  However, students may also choose to participate in Certificate programs that can be completed in less time. Another option is to check w/a technical school, where school hours are flexible & also offer job placement programs.
The job market is very competitive nowadays. A typical job interview will require you to take a CAD test. You will be tested for accuracy, proficiency, & speed.

The logic behind 3D (Inventor or Solidworks) is totally the opposite of Autocad. I would learn Autocad first prior to learning Inventor. Again, your local college offer these 3D courses.

Hope this helps,
JB
