Executive Summary One of the goals of the city's economic development program is to leverage partnerships that will support the needs of a growing business community and assisting business growth with a focus on talent development and attraction. One of City Council's goals is to provide lifelong learning opportunities to our residents and businesses alike. This presentation will be delivered by the staff at MiraCosta's Technology Career Institute, highlighting the programs they offer and businesses they serve so the community is aware of this regional asset in our city. Discussion In July 2014, the City of Carlsbad entered into a 5-year lease agreement with MiraCosta Community Services and Business Development to open a Technology Career Institute (TCI) for the city-owned property at 2075 Las Palmas Drive within the city's business and research center. The facility mostly houses work skills programs including Engineering Technician and Machinist Technology programs, skill sets that are valuable to Carlsbad's high tech manufacturing companies. In addition, their homeland & international security programs provide skills to many active duty and military veterans which can be transitioned back to their military units or to private sector jobs. The initial lease with the city was based on a grant through the Trade · Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) program. The program outlined in the grant became the benchmarks of their lease and MiraCosta has hit their goals 9 months earlier than expected. Highlights for the 2016 calendar year include: • Over one thousand students enrolled in work skill programs • 96% completion rate within advanced manufacturing and engineering programs, 64% reported employment rate for those completing programs • 21% of TCI graduates work in Carlsbad and 70% live in North County (including Carlsbad) Page 1 • Carlsbad companies like Zimmer Biomet, Let's Go Robotics and Nordson Asymtek employ graduates • Executed company-specific training for Carlsbad companies like ViaSat, Forecast 3D and SMAC Since then, MiraCosta Community Services and Business Development has received another significant grant through the America's Promise program. This grant will allow them to add programs relevant to our key industry clusters like blue technology, add nine new homeland & international security programs to assist in skills development for our armed forces and veterans, and grow their welding program, a skill set in demand by Carlsbad and lnnovate78's manufacturing industries. Fiscal Analysis None. Next Steps · Staff will continue to work with its business partners in identifying opportunities for expansion or areas where the city can be of future assistance. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review. Public Notification Staff report is made available at least 72 hours prior to the posting of the city council meeting agenda. Exhibits 1. MiraCosta Technology Career Institute 2016 Annual Report 2.

Although we offered classes immediately, it took us another half year to completely move in, investing $800,000 worth of improvements to the facility. In Fall 2015, we were able to grow new programs and apply for additional funding . Staying Responsive to the Market Over the past year, we have slowly increased our Engineering Technician cohort size. The machinist program, unfortunately, struggled getting more than 5 - 7 students each class. To offset the concern about decreasing unemployment rates, we did three things: 1. Added a number of shorter night and weekend classes 2. Increased our marketing and outreach, including attending many college and career fairs to recruit directly from high schools 3. Applied for a number of grants to help offset costs and lower tuitions In addition, we planned, developed and launched approximately 20 condensed courses that were designed to provide introductory or intermediate skills to new or incumbent workers. Two of our more successful programs were Electronic Assembly and Welding. Electronic Assembly was a collaborative effort between MiraCosta College, VANC, and ViaSat. ViaSat has provided two instructors and created the coursework for the program. This past fall, we had a full class and plan to continue offering it every semester to help meet the needs of our local industry. Due to the demand from industry, we received multiple funding allotments to help pay for upgrading the facility, equipment, supplies, instructor salaries, and lowering tuition costs. Our homeland security courses attract people from all over the country. As such, this program not only helps sustain our department when there are economic downturns, or when other programs are under-enrolled, but also brings revenue to the area. We have between 8-40 Page 3 students every cohort (6 cohorts a year) who typically attend on average, 37 days. Many students fly in to attend the course and stay at local hotels in Carlsbad, eat at local restaurants, and shop at local stores. In addition, we use the Carlsbad Safety Center, Iron Sights, and the Escondido Police Department facility. MiraCosta spends thousands of dollars a year at Lowe's, Costco, and other local stores to purchase supplies and equipment for this program. Outreach & Partnerships Throughout 2016, we held a number of outreach events at TCI and also went out into the community to market our programs, including: · • Tours of the facility for schools and other educational partners • Nearly a dozen presentations & visits to schools and partners -exposing our programs regionally • More than a dozen demo days and career fairs • Friday open house tours for prospective students Specific events that highlight outreach to groups and our military community include: • Murray High School ASSETS STEM Project with Engineering Tech students • Class offered for local students ages 11-14 Baxter Robotics competition. 15 students attended • Diegueno Country School Tech Fair K-6 with 300+ attendees including parents • Vista USO STEM Fest • Trade Tech's College & Career Day • Military Spouse Hiring Fair on Camp Pendleton • Class offered at TCI for local students with a dozen students ages 11-14 • Young Adult Job Fair at Camp Pendleton • East County EDC MFG Day Event • Blue Tech Symposium with 60 Middle schoolers Linda Kurokawa has been working with a governmental affairs office and a dozen colleges around the country to forward a bill to the Senate and Congress creating Centers of Excellence in Manufacturing. TCI is expected to receive that designation in the summer of 2017. Linda flew to Washington DC twice; once to promote the bill and meet with various State Departments including: Labor, Education, Energy, Commerce, Defense, and on another occasion for a Department of Labor grant meeting. In addition to outreach throughout the community, TCI held the following events, forging partnerships with regional resources in the manufacturing space: • MiraCosta College Foundation Board Meeting • Advisory Board Meeting for our Machining and Engineering Technician programs • National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) has held a chapter meeting • Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting • 2 Staffing Agency Hiring events for our core program students Page 4 December 2016 Engineering Technician graduation pictures.

Within a 2-week timeframe in late August 2016, our Work Skills Navigator received over 25 emails and calls about different job openings for technicians. During that same time, he received about a dozen inquiries for machinist positions from companies like: • Barrel Service • Olivenhain Municipal Water District • BioSurplus • Orbital-ATK • GenMark Diagnostics • Price Products • HM Electronics • SMAC • LPS Computer • Solatube • NEO Technology • ViaSat Frequently, the request would indicate that we were their first request, prior to opening up the job to the public. Programs Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering Incumbent Courses: • 3D Design (MCC Employees)= 18 students • AutoCAD for Manufacturing = 8 students • Basic Electronics = 23 students • Blueprint Reading = 35 students • CNC Operation = 15 students • CNC Programming = 38 students • Electronic Assembly= 14 students • Intro to Electro mechanics= 12 students • LEAN Manufacturing = 42 students • MATLAB = 4 students • OSHA-30 = 7 students • PLC Programming = 20 students • Soldering Basics = 5 students • SolidWorks = 60 students • Solar Photovoltaic Associate (offsite) = 21 students Page 7 • Welding (offsite) = 36 students Homeland Security Programs We currently have four intensive homeland security programs. These courses provide a series of tactical training for veterans, active duty, law enforcement and civilian security specialists, and have received state and national awards. Our classes range in size, but most recently have been hitting classroom capacity (28) at our TCI location. For these programs we are often renting out other facilities, which has driven up the cost of the courses. Multiple film and news crews came to videotape the homeland security program while at the Carlsbad Safety Center. Here is a link to one of the stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeHXHtzWvwU The courses include: • Certified AT/FP Specialist (CAPS)= 31 students • Corporate & Celebrity Protection= 142 students • High Risk Medic = 185 students • High Threat Protection Specialist = 130 students Statistics for the Veterans' Association on Homeland Security Programs: • One of our students was working as a guard at TE Connectivity for about 6 months before moving out of state. • One of our students is hired by Allied Universal Protection Services to work a contract at General Atomics. • One of our students was hired by the DEA as a Special Agent. He is now making approximately $90,000/year. • One of our students was hired by the DOD/Midwest Counterdrug Training Center. His title is Tactical Medicine, Course Manager/NCOIC. He is making approximately $69,000/year with benefits. • One of our students was hired by the FBI as a Special Agent. • A large proportion of our students are hired by Aegis/Garda World. One student is a PSS Emergency Response Team member earning $441/day. • We also have a handful of students who are getting hired by local law enforcement such as the City of San Diego, the City of Escondido, the South Pasadena PD, and the Pauma Tribal Police. • We have a lot of students who are working overseas contracts, some who are still in the military, and a couple dozen who have decided to continue their education in areas like Criminal Justice, EMT, etc. Student Comments: "Without question Mira Costa offers some of the best PSD and Medical training in the nation. HTPS and TCCC have set me up for success in the WPS program and other avenues that I never thought possible. The level of training and expertise received is on par if not beyond the finest LE/Govt training available. For anyone interested in high risk security their first stop should be Mira Costa." ** "I took the pipeline course starting in January 2016. After graduation I returned to a position that I held prior to the course as an Instructor I Trainer for the US Army Caisson Platoon. This is where I am currently employed. I am making approximately $66,000 per year. Two Page 8 days after I graduated, an acquaintance of mine from the Federal Air Marshals contacted me after finding out that I was taking the course to recruit me into their ranks. It didn't work for me at the time to accept the position but I now have applied and am scheduled to test and interview for the Air Marshals. I feel that the instructors were highly qualified and more than knowledgeable in every facet having to do with High Threat and Corporate! Celebrity protection and was honored to learn from such experts and professionals. I attribute my graduation of this course to what made me an attractive candidate for a highly competitive and prestigious position within Federal Law Enforcement. " ** "/ am employed with a Private Security Contracting firm called T1 SMG as a Team leader. I make anywhere from $20-$30 an hour or $300-$600 a day. I believe the course was very important for me to attend. It gives me an edge on everyone else. I am usually one of the first to select a contract before anyone else especially if it has to do with surveillance. One day we'll be doing basic security at a concert and the next we'll be protecting a Saudi Prince. There was purpose to everything we did in the HTPS Course, it wasn't someone just saying, "do this do that." We learned little important details that make sense like, how to dress, when to talk, how to react to certain scenarios. My favorite part is how we learned not only how to react in high stress situations, but what happens to our bodies physiologically. Also how to correct ourselves in the situations. It's very important to know what happens to our bodies during these high stress situations because we can now take over and train or bodies how to think more clearly and not freeze up or do the wrong thing and act quick. By the end of the course I knew how to control my tunnel vision and think properly in a high stress situation. All that adrenaline and auditory exclusion, was controlled at the end. The instructors were very helpful and I couldn't be as good as I am now without them. As a matter offact I still stay in touch with one of them if I have question and he's happy to answer them every time." ** "I've been working for BNSF railroad for the last 4 years. I'm a locomotive engineer. I avg 115k-125k a year. I was offered a few jobs in private security when I was looking after training. But I didn't take them after I was offered this job." When I asked if he is going into security in the future, his response was ... ''That school did help me get the job. Safety and security of federal railroads is very important to the company. During the interview they asked about that course. And what I thought I could contribute to the security of the railroad." In addition to the four classes we are currently offering, we will be adding up to nine additional classes in topics like International Security Advisor, Crisis Management Negotiator, Surveillance Detection/Counter Surveillance, and Air Travel Threat Mitigation. We are already one of three GI Bill approved security programs of this caliber in the US. By offering these additional courses, we would be the premier training facility in the country. These courses would require us to find additional space. We partner with the SBDC to utilize their employees to offer trainings, such as Leadership Academy, communication workshops for our core programs, and to talk with the security students about starting their own business. Page 9 Success Stories Joseph: Seeing the Work You Make Joseph has a background in IT. He wanted to do something where he would see the work he was doing. So for a short-time he worked in low voltage (alarms and cameras), but the market was limited for the installer. After hearing about machining, he decided to take our Machinist Technology program. He continued to take additional courses at both Palomar and MiraCosta to gain more skills to move forward in the world of manufacturing. Since graduating a few years ago, he has taken additional CAD/CAM courses, including our CNC Programming courses at TCI. He now works at WeldT ec as a draftsman and designer. "Within three months of starting my new position as a draftsman, my boss had concepts he wanted for new part designs. I took what he was looking for and created a full set of parts that are currently being put into production. To take an idea and see it brought out into reality was something that I have been looking forward to since I began machining and through my education. One day, I hope to be a full engineer that can take these skills I am learning every day and apply them further." In August 2015, Joseph attended the NTMA Regional Conference with staff. He sat on a panel with me to discuss education and training. By the end, he had multiple industry members coming up to him, wanting him to work for them. Matt: From Student to Teacher ( t-j Matt was one of our first Engineering Technician graduates. He actually had a Bachelor's in 30 design, but wanted a program that offered hands- on instruction with industry relevance. After graduation, he was working for an educational ap company, as well as running an afterschool robotics club. He is now working at Fallbrook Union High School full-time, teaching robotics and engineering. We went to visit him in November and he was working with his kids on a robot to participate in a nation-wide contest. Matt said that he designed his classroom similarly to the way our Engineering Technician program is laid out since he found such value in the instruction at TCI. William: Building on Both Programs William was an exceptional student in our Machinist program, always going above and beyond on his projects. From our program, he got a job as a Junior Machinist at Marburg Industries. He started at $15/hour, and received a $1 raise after just 90 days. William said, "I came into the class with some knowledge of machining and left with a tremendous amount of knowledge and much more confidence in my skills and abilities. I really loved the program, Calandra [our Page 10 instructor], my fellow classmates and the new center. I started machining on brass and aluminum and ended working with stainless steel and titanium. I loved starting with a block or bar of raw stock and transforming it into something, be it step blocks, an air powered cannon, or a prototype e-cig atomizer. I have no doubt that the skills I acquired during the class will stand as a solid foundation for me to grow and thrive in the manufacturing industry." William and his son at graduation. Unfortunately, Will got injured on the job. Once it was determined he couldn't return as a machinist, he decided to enroll into our Engineering Technician program. He started this class in January 2017. When asked how he likes the class, he said, "I absolutely love it!" Once he's done, he'd like to be able to take the welding program and become a fabricator. .. In our January 2016 cohort, we had three women take our Machining program. Cydney Gipe and Amanda Fry are both employed by CEA-Corp in Oceanside. Their boss came to us, wanting to enroll both ladies into our Machinist program after successfully training another employee of his in the previous class. Cydney excelled in the class, earning the highest marks and was awarded the "Distinguished Achievement in Academia" award at graduation. Cydney is currently still working at CEA-Corp . Amanda also did well in the class, and with her Cydney & Amanda are the two on the right. employers support, immediately enrolled in our Engineering Technician program (graduated August 2016). She is also working at CEA-Corp at $20/hour. Although Amanda primarily works in the office handling accounting, she works in the shop as needed. She told us , "The machinist class was very valuable to me, because it helps me understand everything about the company on a deeper level and now I can be more versatile. It works in the company's benefit that I can step out of the office and work on a machine when demand is high. That way, they do not have to hire or train new employees for temporary work." Brenda, not included in this picture, was the first employee from CEA-Corp to take our Machinist program in the fall of 2015. She also completed the Engineering Technician program, graduating this past December. Page 11 New Opportunities: Department of Labor Promise Grant In November 2016, our department was awarded the Department of Labor (DOL) America's Promise grant. Of the $6 million dollars awarded, a little over half will be issued to MiraCosta. The remaining will be distributed to our consortium members: Grossmont College, Cuyamaca College, Chaffey College lnTech Center, SD Maritime Alliance, San Diego EDC, SD East County EDC, and SD North County EDC. The money awarded to the colleges allows them to provide tuition-free, accessible training to low-skilled and indigenous populations in blue tech, aerospace, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and IT industries. Populations served will include: Veterans, recent high school and alternative high school graduates, non-traditional learners, ex-offenders, Native Americans, incumbent workers, unemployed and underemployed. With the new DOL America's Promise grant, we are offering all advanced manufacturing and engineering courses tuition free (with a small administrative fee). This means that our class numbers are significantly higher than they have been, with no space for expansion (either students or more equipment). Due to our space limitation, we can only offer a limited number of courses and hours in Basic Electronics, Introduction to Electro mechanics, and Electronic Assembly. Per the America's Promise grant proposal, we intend to create new programs and offer: • Biomedical Equipment Technician program • Robotics certificate • Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Operator certificate • More quality control coursework • Craft Brewing Technician program • Marine Engineering Technician courses including the purchase of a salt-water tank Moving Forward In addition to the America's Promise Grant that was awarded in November 2016, we were also the recipients of: • Nordson monetary donation • San Diego Women's Fund Grant • Managed Career Pipeline Grant through the AMP SoCal partnership • Transitional Youth Academy Grant through Interfaith & WIB • Able-Disabled Apprenticeship Grant (we have submitted and received approval for a Machine Operator apprenticeship through CA and the DOL. We have submitted an additional five apprenticeships through both organizations and are waiting for approval) • We have accepted multiple donations from companies (CEA-Corp, Rigaku, GoPro, etc., totaling thousands of dollars' worth of supplies and equipment MiraCosta TCI is constantly looking for partnership and funding opportunities to offer affordable programs that are relevant to industry and help students gain skills that will result in career and often life changes. We welcome the opportunity to continue to explore whether our partnership with the City of Carlsbad can expand to offer the coursework funded by the DOL Promise Grant.
