Tesla START Visits Central Oregon Community College

Tesla START representatives visited Central Oregon Community College to do what we call a “site visit” to determine if the Tesla Corporation would be interested in a partnership for training technicians into the electric drive industry AND the residential industry.  The representatives were well prepared and gracious.  They were the best folks to visit with our team here in Central Oregon.  In addition to our own administration, we had two COCC board members and most city mayors and city mangers.  Educational representatives joined us to look at workforce development for Central Oregon.  The name – Tesla – draws a crowd.   It was a “best day” for us all.
