City College’s approvals included a National Institute of Standards and Technology grant to develop its CyberLab and a Rebuilding Nursing Infrastructure grant from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. Miramar received approval for a San Diego Foundation grant supporting hybrid and electric vehicle workforce training.
At Mesa, trustees accepted support for employment training and the Regional Strong Workforce Program. The board also accepted California education and social-services department funding for child development centers at all three colleges, pairing instructional investments with student-support facilities.
The nursing action followed an April announcement that City College had been awarded $1,967,885 in the state program’s second round. That earlier notice described plans to expand the program, improve learning environments and strengthen partnerships. It said 48 community colleges had sought more than $66 million statewide.
