I learned Solidworks, Pro-E and MasterCam in college. Then when I started working we used Vectorworks (CAD for a Mac). I made them upgrade to Solidworks because Vectorworks couldn't accurately model in 3d. Once you learn one 3D cad program you'll be fine using any. They all do about the same thing, they just call each process something different and sometimes you have to do things in a slightly different order.
I would look into taking a class at a local college or jr college. It will help a lot! Or just compare costs and what each program offers and jump in head first. You can just get a book that will walk you through learning the program. I think Solidworks comes with "lessons" which are meant to teach you how to use just about everything starting at the basics.
Good luck!
