Dear Industry Colleagues,
I wanted to let you know that the community colleges in the Bay Area offer a range of training opportunities in manufacturing (and manufacturing-related) programs that might be a great fit for your existing employees.
If you have employees who are looking to upgrade their skills, please let them know about these opportunities. You can find more details about the programs being offered at:
Classes for the Fall are still available, and at just $46/unit (which is $138 for a 3-unit class), it’s training that’s very affordable. And besides the specific programs in welding, machining, electronics, etc. that are offered - you can look for classes on such topics as blueprint reading, hydraulics, PLC’s, etc. So check it out.
Regards,
Mark
