WE TRAIN THE WAY YOU WOULD
We can give your company the unfair advantage by offering practical, industry based skills classes and knowledge. Real world hands-on classes not available anywhere else. Classes that can be held during days, evenings and weekends based on your company’s needs.
If I train my people, they might leave. And what if you don’t, and they stay?
We offer fundamental skills training in a number of subjects such as: woodworking and machining, welding and fabrication CAD, 3D printing, electronics, laser cutting and much more. We adapt to technology quickly to offer the latest in technology. Our courses are based on industry needs, very practical, and cover little theory or history. We do this in a relatively short time, without impacting your work with our evening and weekend classes. We can also build custom courses (based on our existing classes) for as few as six employees.
Our courses are based on the apprenticeship models of the past. We teach for the benefit of the company and employee. Concise, practical knowledge and focus on core skill building. All of our courses require every student to complete a Skills Competency Project. A physical object or assembly, requiring all the skills we have taught. Only then do students get their Certificate Of Completion.
Unlike traditional schools, we have much more to offer. Vocademy is unique in offering Maker Lab Access to our students. Your employees can come in and hone their skills on the equipment they have learned. They are free to practice, work on company R&D projects, or on personal projects, Monday – Friday 5-10pm, in a comfortable, safe, and very inspirational environment. Please call 951-266-6630 for details.
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEE TRAINING PANEL
We are also California ETP (Employee Training Panel) approved. This program can reimburse a substantial portion of the training costs that we provide. This program is available to large and small businesses and can be tailored to your needs. Please call 951-266-6630 for more details.
“The Employment Training Panel (ETP) provides funding to employers to assist in upgrading the skills of their workers through training that leads to good paying, long-term jobs. The ETP was created in 1982 by the California State Legislature and is funded by California employers through a special payroll tax. The ETP is a funding agency, not a training agency. Businesses determine their own training needs and how to provide training. ETP staff is available to assist in applying for funds and other aspects of participation.”

LOOKING FOR IDEAL CANDIDATES?
We are a small business, so we know how difficult it is to find good hands-on people with the right attitude. We also know hiring someone off the street is always a gamble. These new hires might discover that they do not like working with their hands, they don’t like manufacturing, and/or it’s not a fit for them or you. We also know that the cost and effort of hiring and firing employees is very high. It is especially difficult finding those that want to work in Advanced Manufacturing AND have some basic skills.
Vocademy creates the kind of fundamentally skilled people you are looking for.
Our goal is to be the pipeline of skilled people who are looking for opportunities in the world of manufacturing. Imagine if you could hire those with 40-60 hours of intense training in the skills you need. That’s what we do. Our boot-camp style courses offer industry-based skills learning and a lot of hands-on practice. Our nightly Maker Lab Access allows students to practice their skills.
VOCADEMY JOB BOARD SUBMISSIONS
Many times, applicants do not know the required skills or skill levels when they read a job description or title. We are working toward solving this problem and we need your help. We have created a simple on-line form / checklist that enables you (the employer) to specify the kind of hands-on skills you are looking for and at what level.
It’s a simple process: Click the link to fill out the short form and upload your job ads (as PDFs). We will then place it on our job board and our Workforce Specialist will present it to our students. Our goal is to match the student’s new skills to your needs. Thereby creating a pipeline for opportunities.

PAY IT FORWARD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Vocademy’s courses are an ideal way to give back to your community and a way to help change people’s lives. Vocademy is a private, for-profit business, but with very philanthropic ideals and goals. We truly want to “help make people more valuable to the world!” But we cannot do it alone. We need the support of individuals, the community, and local businesses to help us give people access to learning skills and developing their talents.
Sponsorship is a gift awarded to a person or an organization to help them pay for access to education. It provides the access to skills learning and the knowledge necessary to help them succeed and better their lives.
There are many in our community who can benefit from what we offer, but cannot afford it. Together (the benefactor, our counselors, and the recipient) determine the best course of action. We promise to give that individual or group the valuable life skills they can take with them. We teach tangible skills that people can use in their personal or professional lives. We give people access to knowledge that they could not otherwise obtain.
We don’t want your money. We want to facilitate the funds going to the right individual(s), giving them access to our courses and facility. It is a gift from you to them. Giving the gift of a Makership through Vocademy does NOT give you a tax deduction. It gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you can help change lives.
