TCI, with substantial backing from the Lowe's Foundation through a $500,000 grant, is now offering state-of-the-art HVAC and Electrical Certificate Programs. These programs address the increasing need for skilled technicians in the energy efficiency and electrical work domains, crucial for California's growing infrastructure.

Elevating MiraCosta College’s commitment to sustainable energy and workforce excellence, the U.S. Department of Energy has recognized the college as one of the new Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs). This inclusion, supported by a $2.1 million grant, cements the college's role at the forefront of clean energy innovation.

The San Diego Industrial Assessment Center, hosted by TCI, will spearhead the development of an advanced curriculum emphasizing renewable energy technologies and trades, ensuring the next generation of workers is prepared for the challenges of a greener economy.

TCI's expanded program roster includes the pioneering Aquaculture Certificate Program in collaboration with Scripps Institute Sea Grant, Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute, and the state-approved Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program.
