'Community Showcase' highlights Carlsbad center's offerings, including cooking, beer brewing and welding
It's not exactly a college campus, but then again it is. MiraCosta College put its Technology Career Institute on display earlier this month when it offered a “Community Showcase” for the center in Carlsbad. It blends in well with its business-park surroundings. But its purpose is educational with dozens of classes being offered to a total of 430-some students, who aren't taking academic courses but rather learning job skills. They don't spend years, but rather months in this school.
Chavez said two dozen students currently are enrolled, and they're making 12 different beers with a distinctive TCI label. Nearby, a large room contains all kinds of machinery for machining. And there's another room full of welding equipment. Electronic assembly is taught. Students learn to solder. There's a program to train engineering technicians. Student Marcelo Gonzalves demonstrated how an X-ray machine worked on mechanical parts.
