Employer input is valuable in establishing the curriculum and training the future workforce. We would like to invite members of local organizations to join us at the Cerro Coso Community College Indian Wells Valley campus in Ridgecrest, California on Friday, September 14th from 8 am to 4 pm. A continental breakfast and lunch will be served during the summit.

The purpose of this summit is twofold. First, we will identify a core curriculum for the future workforce in engineering, engineering technology and renewable energy. Secondly, distinguished leaders in each industry will be speaking to the needs of each cluster in the next 12, 36 and 60 months. Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites will be our keynote speaker.
