Executive Summary
CA Review vY
MiraCosta Technology Career Institute (TCI) is part of MiraCosta College's Community
Education & Workforce Development department. Located in Carlsbad, the college offers local
community members the opportunity to enhance their lives and their careers with low-cost
classes, workshops and programs. From enrichment classes to job training programs, all
MiraCosta TCl's programs and classes are fee-based and not-for-credit. MiraCosta TCl's fast
track training programs offer students a place to start and learn new skills to advance their
careers and to help find meaningful employment in our local businesses. The institute provides
job training in the fields of advanced manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, security,
veterinary science and professional skills training.
Discussion
The City of Carlsbad Economic Development Division works to leverage partnerships that will
support the needs of a growing business community and assist business growth with a focus on
workforce development and employee attraction. This goal includes working with partners
including local universities and our community colleges to support a talent pipeline for Carlsbad
companies. As seen in the annual report (Exhibit 1), MiraCosta TCI is a strong partner with the
City of Carlsbad in pursuit of economic development.
In July 2014, the City of Carlsbad entered into a 6-year lease agreement with MiraCosta
Community Services and Business Development to open MiraCosta TCI in the city-owned
property at 2075 Las Palmas Drive within the city's business and research center. The facility
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 facility is also home to north county's Small Business Development Center (SBDC)
June 25, 2019 Item #15 Page 1 of 28
which uses federal funds to help small businesses start, grow and secure financing. 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 and exceeded their goals. As part of the
lease agreement, MiraCosta TCI is required to submit an annual report to the City Council to
update on progress and highlight significant accomplishments over the past year.
The following are highlights from the 2019 annual report:
• Successfully launched three new programs in the past year: Biomedical Equipment
Technician Program, Unmanned Systems Operator Technician Program, and Electronic
Assembly Program
• Helped to plan and implement North County Manufacturing Day in October 2018 at
California State University, San Marcos which saw participation from 1,200 students
throughout North County
• Hosted a delegation from the New Zealand Ministry of Education interested in
workforce development programs
• Received a Supervisor Horn $15,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Act grant, and a
$5,000 donation from Hunter Industries to assist with the purchase of supplies and
small equipment for the Advanced Manufacturing classes
• Partnership with the U.S. Naval Airbase North Island to begin a large-scale advanced
manufacturing apprenticeship program
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact from receiving the report.
Next Steps
Staff will continue to work with Mira Costa TCI and its business partners.

MISSION
4/17/19
MiraCosta TCI Update
The mission of MiraCosta College's Community Education and Workforce Development is to provide affordable, not-for-
credit continuing education to community members who are interested in either personal or professional enrichment.
The Technology Career Institute (TCI) prepares students for successful careers, provides technical and professional skills
training, and promotes leadership. Through TCl's many partnerships with business, industry, labor and public service
agencies, and its career-oriented and broad-based learning plan, the institute serves our rapidly changing global
economy. TCI strives to be a recognized leader in accelerated, not-for-credit education with a curriculum where theory
meets practice and where multi-disciplinary skills important in a global economy are developed by our students.
BACKGROUND
On October 1, 2013, MiraCosta College Community Education & Workforce Development was awarded the third round
of the Department of Labor (DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT)
grant. This $2.75 million-dollar grant allowed us to expand our Machinist Technology program, add our Engineering
Technician program, and renovate and move into the current Technology Career Institute building in Carlsbad.
Since that time, we were also awarded $520,000 as part of the DOL TAACCCT Round 4 grant. These monies were used to
help California State University, San Marcos run a feasibility study to determine the appropriate engineering programs
they should develop in an effort to launch a new College of Engineering.
In January 2017, our department was awarded the DOL America's Promise grant. Of the $6 million dollars awarded, a
little over half was issued to MiraCosta. The remaining was distributed to consortium members: Grossmont College,
Cuyamaca College, Chaffey College lnTech Center, San Diego Maritime Alliance, San Diego Regional Economic
Development Corporation, San Diego East County Economic Development Council, and the San Diego North County
Economic Development Council. The money issued to the colleges has provided tuition-free, accessible training to
targeted underserved populations in blue tech, aerospace, engineering, advanced manufacturing, biomedical and
emerging industries. Populations served have include veterans, recent high school and alternative high school graduates,
non-traditional learners, ex-incarcerated, Native Americans, incumbent workers, the unemployed and underemployed.
Since MiraCosta College Community Education and Workforce Development began operations at the Las Palmas facility,
we continue to meet expectations in all goal areas from the original plan presented to the Carlsbad City Council. We
have continually excelled in:
• Student enrollments, with higher than 90% retention rates and over 90% graduation rates
• Outreach to local high schools, alternative high schools, and middle schools
• Outreach to veteran centers and events, Native Americans, ex-incarcerated, and facilities for crisis
• Partnerships with local industry and companies in need of employees or employee training
• Increased core programs offerings
June 25, 2019 Item #15 Page 4 of 28
• Maintained student support services
• Collaborated with governmental, regional and city organizations

MiraCosta TCI Update
MiraCosta College has been moving forward to ensure that we develop and deliver successful programs to our students.
The award of a large DOL grant has been extremely valuable in our ability to provide affordable training to those looking
for new job skills or for employers seeking training for current employees.
Graduates of the MiraCosta TCI program work in job fields including but not limited to aerospace, automation &
programming, automotive, communications, defense, irrigation, maritime, medical device, recreation, and space & flight
industries. The salary range is anywhere from $14 to $28 per hour.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS (2018 THROUGH Ql 2019)
• We have successfully launched three new programs during the past year:
o Biomedical Equipment Technician Program (487 hours, completed in 21 weeks)
o Unmanned Systems Operator Technician Program (487 hours, completed in 21 weeks)
o Electronic Assembly Program (80 hours, completed in 10 weeks)
A fourth new program was also started, the Craft Brewing Technician Program; however, this course is being
offered at the John Landes Center in Oceanside due to lack of lab space at TCI. This is the only Craft Brewing
Technician program in San Diego with a functioning Brew House. It is a 300-hour program and will be offered
twice a year.
• We have successfully increased our marketing efforts to create better awareness about advanced
manufacturing, technician, and maritime technology careers and programs in the North County region.

• We have had multiple advisory board meetings with industry partners, veteran organizations, social service
organizations, high school counselors and local colleges/universities. We consistently have guest speakers,
industry meetings, and local organization meetings at our current facility.
• We participated in the planning and implementation of the North County's 2018 Manufacturing Day in October.
This event took place at California State University, San Marcos and had participation from 1,200 students
throughout North County.

MiraCosta TCI Update
"I am doing great and loving my new job here at Navair, Fleet Readiness Southwest, I get to see the jet fighters like the
cool F-18's, E2 C2's, etc. every day and I am contributing in helping our Dept. of Defense. I was hired as an Engineering
Technician but got promoted to Project Manager on my first day due to prior experience. The knowledge I gained while in
school puts me at a great advantage since every project is mostly technical and manufacturing, so thank you for all that
you have thought me." -Helen
11My experience in Calandra's class has been fantastic. Safety has been number one for every minute of every day since
before we even set foot in the shop. Before the course started, I didn't think there would be any way I could feel safe in a
machine shop full of new machinists, but her method really drilled it into everyone and set the right tone from the start.
Of course machining has the inherent danger of heavy machines running at high speeds with sharp cutting tools, but
that's what we're here to learn. Calandra has clearly created and maintained a safe environment. I love how everything
Calandra teaches is immediately applied and incorporated into the lesson or project that follows. I've been able to
practice each skill or technique she's taught and get better at it in subsequent work." -Malcom Morris-Pence
11Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn and grow. It is already paying off by orders of magnitude. My next step
in education will be toward a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I never thought I would be the type of
person to go on and succeed in college!" -Nicholas Leitholf
AMERICA'S PROMISE GRANT
MiraCosta TCI is now 2.5 years into the America's Promise Grant funding and has been enjoying higher overall
enrollments due to the grant. We have been able to offer more low-cost employee training in our Advanced
Manufacturing classes, reach out to more underserved populations that benefit from accelerated technical skills
training, and expand technical skills training programs through partnerships with Chaffey College's lnTech Center and
Grossmont/Cuyamaca CTE department. The grant funding allowed MiraCosta TCI to add Biomedical Equipment
Technician, ROV /Drone Operator Technician programs which began July 2018 and a Craft Brewing Technician program
that began in January 2019.
With America's Promise Grant, most Advanced Manufacturing/Engineering classes are tuition free with a small
Administrative Fee of $350 or less per course for 1.5 more years. Other programs range from $995 to $7,200 depending .
on the course. We are able to cover costs with the current discounted rental price, and most classes are doing well,
some have waiting lists.
COMING IN 2019
MiraCosta TCI has been asked to partner with the U.S. Naval Airbase North Island to begin a large-scale advanced
manufacturing apprenticeship program. TCI will set up a training program for the apprentices that include 30 units of
credit classes combined with work skills training programs. Some of the work skills modules will be taught at TCI, other
June 25, 2019 Item #15 Page 9 of 28
4/17/19
MiraCosta TCI Update
modules and the credit classes will be taught at the Naval Airbase in San Diego. We are expecting this apprenticeship
program to run for five years, placing approximately 90 apprentices per year into the training programs. This program
will begin in 2020, but the curriculum and program schedule are being planned out this year.
SUCCESS STORIES
In most cases MiraCosta TCI serves those individuals who have not had the opportunity to obtain a college degree and
who are unemployed or underemployed. However, TCI can also be the right answer for individuals who have been out
of the workforce for a long time and need to refresh their skills to obtain a job, or who have a college degree but have
no hands-on experience in their field.
ZAINAB
One of our participants during the last year, Zainab, was a female who was a foreign-born resident with a Master's
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, but because she had never had the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge
gained during her university studies, and because her accent was quite pronounced, she was having trouble landing a
job in the U.S. Zainab heard about the Engineering Technician program at TCI and signed up for the course. Although
she had studied Mechanical Engineering, she had never applied the skills of mechanics in a practical way to make herself
valuable to industry. With the contextualized learning at TCI, Zainab quickly progressed to complicated projects that
allowed her to become familiar with and integrate electronics training, robotics and 3D design with her mechanical
knowledge. Shortly after graduating, she landed a job with Ultracomm Inc. as a full-fledged mechanical engineer.
KATE
Another participant, Kate, came to TCI with a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, however due to a long break in her work
history to have a family, she was rusty and out of date in her engineering skills. Taking the four-month program at TCI
was just the perfect fit for Kate. She was an excellent student and progressed quickly through the course content and
projects. Once she had completed the course, she was very nervous about going out and interviewing for positions,
unsure if she was ready for this next big step. However, she quickly landed job at Apollo Medex, and within one month
of working there, had been promoted to a supervisor role. She was grateful for the assistance that TCI played in helping
her land the perfect job, and in turn, she donated $1,000 back to TCI to start an alumni donation fund. She now leads
the Alumni group for the Engineering Technician program.
CHALLENGES
We have utilized every available space at TCI that can be used. In other words, we are bursting at the seams in terms of
space capacity and program demand. Thus, we have devised a plan to buy or modify an existing building in the City of
Carlsbad. We are hoping to have the new building operational before five years.
The increase in cost of the utilities at TCI has been a burden to a very limited budget. The fact that the building has such
poor energy saving measures is the main reason we are continually seeing the cost of utilities rise as the pricing
June 25, 2019 Item #15 Page 10 of 28
4/17/19
MiraCosta TCI Update
structure from the va rious utility companies also increases. It either means we must charge students more or find
additional funding for the department. Either option is a challenge for us.
NEXT STEPS
Over the next few years, we plan on accomplishing the following:
• Maintain or increase our current enrollment numbers in all of our work skill programs.
• Only about 12-15% of our student population for STEM programs offered at TCI consist of women. We would
like to increase that to 30% over the next two years.
• Succeed in becoming a Maritime Center of Excellence as designated by U.S Maritime Administ ration at the
Department of Transportation and receive Congressional funding from this designation. This process has been in
the works for over 18 months and should reach fruition this year.
• Succeed in becoming an Unmanned Systems Center of Excellence as designated by the Federal Aviation
Administration at the Department of Transportation and receive Congressional funding from this designation.
This process has been in the works for about 12 months and should reach fruition this year.
• Establish two more incubator partnerships with our STEM programs to help build new companies through the
use of our students as interns and our equipment to help create prototypes. As these incubators go to market
with their product and become successful, they will profit share with TCI to assist us in covering operating
expenses.
• Find angel donors who are willing to assist us in creating TCl2 in Carlsbad. This new building will be three times
the size of the current TCI and house six incubated companies.
• Successfully launch the apprenticeship program with the U.S. Naval Airbase North Island.
