The San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) has received a one-year, $374,885 contract from the State of California Employment Training Program (ETP) to help large and small businesses in San Bernardino and Riverside counties develop high-performance workplaces. The project began Aug. 4 and will run through Sept. 3, 2015 and is expected to serve more than 550 workers employed by 17 manufacturing and logistics companies. The contract has been awarded to the SBCCD’s Professional Development Center (PDC), an arm of the Economic Development and Corporate Training (EDCT) Division. The project will assist workers by: - Improving job-specific skills to meet productivity goals - Training employees in current technology to become more energy efficient - and developing mechanical craft and welding skills for workers in high-priority industries such as manufacturing The employers who will participate in this project include: • 3M • Ardent Mills • ASC Profiles • Burlington Coat Factory • California Steel Industries • Converse • Dollar Tree • Doral Industries • Leggett & Platt • Mattel Inc. • Network Global Logistics (NGL) • NFI Industries • McLane Company • OHL • Payless Shoe Source • Penn Emblem • Sports Authority All participating companies had to be pre-qualified and will select their participating employees. “A major mission of the SBCCD, carried out in large part through the EDCT Division, is to stimulate the economic prosperity of the Inland Empire through workforce development, and this program exemplifies the Division’s goal, said SBCCD Chancellor Bruce Baron. “This program is specifically designed to help combat out-of-state and out-of-country competition and to keep jobs here in the Inland Empire.” Dr. Matthew Isaac, the EDCT Chief Executive Officer said, “Our programs have demonstrated that with proper training, employer goals can be met, worker skill levels can be substantially improved, and the local economic climate well-served, a win-win for everyone involved.”
