San Diego Mesa College supports the development of this new program. As the number of annual job openings specifically related to electric vehicles and hybrid or T-TEN are relatively small, I would suggest that caution be used if other colleges in the San Diego region are considering a similar program.

MiraCosta College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE recommends proceeding with developing a program because 1) this occupations’ entry-level wage is below the living wage for San Diego County and the median wage is above the living wage; 2) a high number of annual openings exist; and 3) a supply gap exists.
