PCC to Purchase Property in Columbia County continued from front page
approved the first OMIC registered
apprenticeship standards for machinists.
• In August 2018 PCC brought in a na-
tional workforce agency, the National
Coalition for Advanced Technology
Centers, to host OMIC training center
stakeholder meetings and provide rec-
ommendations on the facility.
• In October 2018 PCC collaborated
with OMIC R&D and a variety of com-
munity and business and industry part-
ners to host the first “Makers Gone Pro
West” event. More than 230 local area
high school students and nearly 40 man-
ufacturers, makers, and robotics teams
participated.
Also in October, PCC hosted a
kick-off meeting for a new K-12 council,
in partnership with Stand for Children.
School district superintendents and PCC
leaders attended the event, which illus-
trated how OMIC is establishing strong
pathways for both Career Technical Ed-
ucation and transfer students in the local
area.
“OMIC will be transformation-
al for Columbia County and northwest
Oregon, and I am excited to see it con-
tinue to grow and move forward,” said
U.S. Representative Suzanne Bonamici,
whose congressional district includes
Columbia County. “Advanced manufac-
turing has a bright future in Oregon, and
the training center will provide workers
with both the classroom and on-the-job
learning they need to fill high-demand,
living wage jobs in advanced manufac-
turing. I am proud to be a champion for
OMIC and will continue to support ef-
forts that use education to strengthen our
local economy,” said Bonamici.
