CARLSBAD, CA — MiraCosta College has partnered with the Veterans Association of North County and Carlsbad-based ViaSat to create a new Electronic Assembly Course that will benefit those who are transitioning from the military for jobs as electronic assemblers at an advanced manufacturing company.

The course, which is being offered by MiraCosta College’s Community Education & Workforce Development division, will be taught at the Technology Career Institute in Carlsbad on Sundays from Sept. 11 through Dec. 18. The course covers 80 hours of instruction, and those who complete the curriculum will earn certification as an electronic assembler.
