California is Open!!
On June 15th, Governor Gavin Newsom declared the State of California to be open for business. For many companies, this news comes as a mixed blessing. while businesses welcome the increase in customers and revenue, they also are having to adjust to a new reality...a shortage of employees. If your company is struggling to find people consider the following options:
1) College Students: Many of theses students are eager to work, and are looking for experience to build their resume. COC has dozens of students who may be available for employment.
2) Veterans: There are thousands of Veterans seeking meaningful employment. If your company has an opening that involves problem-solving and teamwork, consider those who have served our nation.
3) Formerly incarcerated: The America's Job Center gets a steady number of people seeking employment. Many of these individuals are hungry for work, and want to provide themselves in the workplace.
4) COC Career Services: If you have an opening, gives COC a call. We will work with you on posting your position on our job board, and get the word out to the community regarding your opportunity. Our Job Placement Director is Keri Aaver. She can be reached at [email protected].

New Low Observables Technician Pathway

The Low Observables Technician Program (LO) is a Work Force Development Partnership between Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC) and College of Canyons (COC). Over the last few decades, stealth technology has proven to be an effective approach to hide from radar systems and LO is now considered for all new aircraft designs and existing aircraft are considered for modifications/upgrades.

The LO course at COC is originally developed by NGC and aims to train and develop students and prospective new hires for NGC and other interested companies. The course format will be mixed asynchronous (online/self-paced) and synchronous (instructor led) and be delivered by instructors who are Subject Matter Experts in LO technology and application.

By the end of the training curriculum, students will have a fundamental understanding of the Low Observables career series and basic Low Observable techniques to the NGC standard of quality. They will demonstrate proficiency in the Virtual Reality Sprayer training platform. Additionally, students will have gained a fundamental understanding of the safety precautions for working around aircraft industrial areas and gained a fundamental understanding of Agile project management principles, Earned Value Management (EMS), and Continuous Process Improvement.

More Information on the program will be announced soon at
