Building Technological Capacity - North San Diego County Technology Career Institute (TCI)

MiraCosta College will develop a comprehensive training facility that will prepare, through fast-track training, Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) participants, returning veterans, the unemployed, and other non-traditional learners for high-wage, high-skill employment. Training will respond to critical industry demand for workers capable of advancing in the modern industrial high tech environment within local manufacturing, maritime technology, and biotech manufacturing industries. The Technology Career Institute will be located in the northern portion of San Diego County. TCI will expand MiraCosta College's successful industry-recognized machinist certificate program, and create industry-recognized electronics engineering and robotics/automation certificate programs. MCC will work with industry to create an accelerated training approach that quickly trains qualified workers, increases student retention rates and connects participants with jobs much more quickly than a traditional training program. Within 12 weeks, TCI participants will have a credential that will help them find a job and move up a career ladder in their chosen field. Courses in certificate programs may also articulate toward credit technical certificates and associate degree programs in defined subject areas.
