Our partner institutions also offer training programs that can be mixed and matched in a coordinated effort to facilitate a broader depth of learning and provide additional training locations throughout the Inland Empire. This adds expertise and equipment labs for wider hands-on opportunities and deeper understanding of the workplace.
The training center concept is supported by local, county, and state agencies. Key partners include the Manufacturers’ Council of the Inland Empire and California Steel Industries, a major employer and top exporter in Southern California, who is supporting the project with a two million dollar investment in the facility housed in Building A, centrally located to other advanced manufacturing areas in the Inland Empire.
