On August 27, 2014, Susan Hukkanen from Butte County Office of Education, arranged tours for school superintendents, district office staff and principals to visit four local manufacturing companies. On October 2, 2014, one thousand two hundred students attended the Manufacturer’s Expo at CSU Chico. As of February 18, 2015, all six local high schools have completed their “working tours”. We are working with education to offer both introductory and advanced courses at a local manufacturing facility for educators. Several other manufactures are interested in offering similar “Train-the- Trainer” instruction at their facilities here in Butte County. 23 Training
