  • Computer Forensics
  • Multi-Axis CNC Machining
  • Dental Assistant

Computer Forensics:

Leveraging its strong Computer Information Systems departmental assets, Cerritos College will work with the consortia to develop a regional approach to include development of curriculum, articulation agreements, and college-industry partnerships.  Directed practical work will be given in computer forensics under simulated on-the-job conditions.  Equipment including server and networking equipment will be used to train students in high-paying existing and emerging careers. Funds will be utilized for personal and consulting services, travel and conference, mileage, and advertising.

Multi-Axis CNC Machining:

Cerritos College will be able to purchase CNC machines that will be used to further developing our advanced manufacturing classes.  The program is very successful as a result of cooperation with industry and offering of NIMS certifications.  The machines are typical of the type of equipment found in Southern California manufacturing facilities.  The industry match for this equipment totals $62,802 or close to 25%. 

Cerritos College has strong Advanced Manufacturing programs and works directly with employers and their Advisory Committee to align curriculum and instruction with workforce needs.  Through this project, Cerritos College will partner with Santa Ana and Fullerton colleges to align five core Manufacturing courses by developing a crosswalk of articulation possibilities among programs.  Furthermore, the addition of CNC machines will enable us to serve students from all three colleges to work to meet regional scale labor market gaps.  Funds will be utilized for a Haas ST-10Y CNC lathe with Y axis, a Haas VF2TR 5 axis CNC vertical milling machine, a Laguna HSD Smartshop CNC router, and Formtech 300XQ vacuum formers.

Dental Assistant:

Cerritos College Dental Assisting Program plans to implement an orthodontic permit course.  This course will be in addition to our existing program.  We plan to offer this course at the conclusion of our dental assisting program.  Students from Citrus or Pasadena will be able to take the permit class and get credit for it.  This summer session course will allow our dental assisting graduates and dental assisting students from surrounding programs, to obtain an orthodontic permit.  This permit will quality those students who wish to seek employment in the specialized field of orthodontic dental assisting.
