The North Orange Community College District's (NOCCCD) School of Continuing Education was awarded a grant to develop medical device industry-relevant curricula and training for new and existing workers. Through this grant the Medical Device Training Initiative of Orange County (MDTIOC) was created and is able to offer training to the community.

The establishment of MDTIOC in 2006 was funded by the Economic & Workforce Department through the California Community Colleges. The Economic & Workforce Department serves to advance California's economic growth and global competitiveness through high quality education and services focusing on continuous workforce improvement, technology deployment, and business development, consistent with the current needs of the state's regional economies.

We are members of the Medical Device Industry Education Consortium (MDEIC). MDEIC is an innovation network that develops and delivers industry-defined education and training solutions to the medical device industry on a global basis.

MDTIOC Goals

• Increase the number of new medical device workers through quality training
