East Bay Manufacturing Day is the result of a very special collaboration that includes San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward and Castro Valley Unified School Districts; EdenAreaROP; the San Leandro Chamber of Commerce; Pilot City; the City of San Leandro; Chabot College; and the East Bay Career Pathways Consortium.    The EBCPC brings together 11 school districts, one charter school organization, six community colleges, a collaboration of four Workforce Investment Boards, two Regional Occupation Programs, the Alameda County Office of Education, business partners, and state-of-the-art technical assistance and professional development providers to reshape the East Bay K-14 educational system around four career pathways:

  • Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Digital Media
  • Health and Biosciences
  • Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering
  • Public Services & Law

BACKGROUND

San Leandro’s manufacturing companies are primarily Advanced Manufacturing companies.  The worker talent required by these companies are often the same programmers and engineers highly desired by software manufacturers:

The Advanced Manufacturing entity makes extensive use of computer, high precision and information technologies integrated with a high performance workforce in a production system capable of furnishing a heterogeneous mix of products in small or large volumes with both the efficiency of mass production and the flexibility of custom manufacturing in order to respond quickly to customer demands.” 

-National Council for Advanced Manufacturing

Biomedical, food processing, electrical equipment and appliances, machinery, wood products, petroleum refining and fabricated metals have been identified in a recent report, “Made in the East Bay“, as sectors that are projected to see significant job growth in the next 5-10 years.  This same report identifies the average wage for manufacturing workers in Alameda County is $80,195 compared to the average wage of $64,125 for all workers in the County and an average household income of $72,112.  In 2013, manufacturing firms in the county paid out $4.98 billion in wages, making it one of the top five sectors with total wages paid.
