On April 20, 2015 Norco College (Norco, California) hosted a dedicated group of change agents to tour the college’s supply chain lab and learn more about the work of the National Center for Supply Chain Technology Education.

The group, which included educators and industry partners representing the counties of Stanislaus and Modesto and professionals from MHI, a national trade association, is taking bold steps to give residents in the bi-county region a chance to break the cycle of poverty by training for high-growth, high-wage employment.
