Want to be an Industry Partner?

Industry partners are a critical feature of the ATTE program. Through our partnerships we provide up-to-date training for our students, ensuring that they are ready and able to actively participate in the workforce.

In addition we have worked steadfastly with our industry partners to provide faculty training and work experiencehoning technical skills to pass on through their teaching.

Finally, with our many industry advisory boards we maintain interaction between faculty and industry to provide continual improvement in our programs.

What Makes a Partnership Distinct?

Industry partners will vary with the technical programs and in some respects the geographic locations of each ATTE Center. For example, the San Diego Miramar ATTE program works in partnership with Toyota and Honda in its automotive program and with Hawthrone Machinery in its heavy duty vehicle program.

Existing Partnerships

The ATTE program has also formed a number of unique partnerships, such as the Southern California Regional Transit Training Consortium or SCRTTC. Through this program the colleges and transit companies work together to develop and deliver technical training to technicians from transit and other organizations in the southern california region. The ATTE Centers also work with the U.S. Department of Clean Cities programs throughout California to provide both public education regarding alternative fuels and technical training.

From a technical training perspective a number of companies have found opportunities to sponsor students through scholarships or even donate key equipment needed for technical training. For more information on the opportunities to partner with an ATTE Center contact the Center Director nearest to you.
