Are many MCC students currently working in manufacturing companies in the Valley? What kind of jobs are they doing??
Yes. There are many students who are currently employed in manufacturing and are seeking to improve their skills through the college programs. The student population has a varied background. A lot of the students are employed at the larger local companies (Intel, Boeing, Honeywell, TRW) but many others are at the medium and smaller companies employing 30 to 500 people. Their current assignments are as production worker, equipment technician, test technician, material controller, quality technician, machinist, machine operator, and others. All are looking to add to their knowledge to qualify themselves for promotion to higher skill positions or to solidify their current positions through the increased knowledge.
