Community by community, California employers have been partnering with California's Community Colleges in building their workforce talent for generations. California corporations, governmental agencies, associations and non-profits can find no better workforce development partner than their local community college.
California Corporate College works in partnership with California's Community Colleges to bring high quality, market relevant corporate training and workforce preparation services to California employers with needs that reach beyond their local community.
PG&E launched its PowerPathway project which offers a portfolio of programs aimed at building capacity within the state of California to produce the skilled workers needed by PG&E and the energy and utility industry. One of their immediate needs arose with the purchase of 200 electric hybrid vehicles; fleet mechanics required training in the new hybrid maintenance technology.
The California Corporate College was brought on board to facilitate the delivery of this new training through the community colleges that were local to the eight sites PG&E selected to receive the instruction.
The scope of work included a three-day Train-the-Trainer (TTT) session for faculty from identified districts in the two hybrid technologies (Ford & GM). The first TTT was delivered at Las Positas Community College, in which 16 faculty members participated. Proprietary materials have been provided by PG&E from Ford and GM.
The second phase of the project is already underway and includes the delivery of the three-day training at the eight PG&E sites throughout the state for 12-14 fleet mechanics per site.
College districts participating in the project include Los Rios, Butte-Glenn, Peralta, State Center, Hartnell, San Jose-Evergreen, Santa Rosa, and San Joaquin-Delta
