Trainings
Trainings at the High Tech Center Training Unit may consist of one,
two, or three days of instruction and hands-on activities. The trainings
are designed to inform and support faculty and staff within the California
Community College system. Participants who are part of their college's
DSP&S section and attend trainings conducted at the HTCTU are eligible
to receive travel and lodging reimbursement from the HTCTU. The HTCTU
does not provide travel reimbursement for vendor trainings or trainings
conducted at local colleges.
Trainings at the HTCTU generally begin at 10:00AM and conclude by 4:30pm.
Two or three-day trainings may begin the second and third day session
at 9:00AM. It is best to check with the instructor as to the time of
the training for the second or third session.
The HTCTU is located approximately 20 minutes from San Jose International
Airport and approximately 55 minutes from San Francisco International
Airport.
