W
e may live in the Digital
Age, but without the manu-
facturing industry, who
would make the digital products?
Without manufacturing, there wouldn't
be a Digital Age.
The present and future of manufac-
turing, along with the industry's strong
presence in the area, was the focus of
the North County Manufac-
turing Resource Fair, which
took place on Oct. 4 at Mira-
Costa College's Technology
Career Institute, in Carls-
bad. Students, teachers and business
professionals in manufacturing came
together to share what the industry is
all about and how it's evolving.
The event included networking,
some 30 booths hosted by local firms
and an open house of TCI, which offers
classes in welding, CNC operations,
electronic assembly and much more.
"Our programs and certificates of ac-
complishment are especially effective,
since they were established in collabo-
ration with professionals in the indus-
try who know what needs to be
learned," said Linda Kurokawa, Mira-
Costa College's director of community
education and workforce development.
Last year MiraCosta College received
a $6 million grant as part of the U.S.
Department of Labor's America's
Promise program, developed to train
people from underserved populations
at no cost in high-skilled jobs that are in
demand.
The event was part of MFG Day, pro-
duced by the National Association of
Manufacturers and composed of gath-
erings throughout the country that dis-
seminate information about the
industry, address the skilled labor
shortage and inform young workers.
