Statistics tell us that nearly one of every seven workers in California is employed in manufacturing. This figure represents approximately two million Californians.

We know that survival is the paramount concern for manufacturers. The new global economic order requires manufacturers to be lean and efficient for timely adaptation to the fast-paced, just-in-time production and distribution cycles of this new century. We deliver customized employee training via new Online courses, on-site, or in-house at our centers.

Our mission is to help California's manufacturing industry compete successfully in changing markets and the global economy through Applied Competitive Technologies and workforce education. We accomplish this through technology education, manufacturing training, and services that contribute to continuous workforce development, technology deployment and business development.

The CACTs are an initiative of the California Community College's Economic Development Program. Initial consultations and site visits are provided at no charge. Workshops, seminars and customized training may be fully or partially funded by state grants. Visit the website of the Center nearest you.
