Our Future: Ted Taylor Ag Vocational Center
The Ted Taylor Ag Vocational Center opened in August 2019. The Center will offer training for highly-skilled, living wage jobs serving Monterey County's largest industry—agriculture. With the opening of the Ag Vocational Center, 160 resilient young people (up from 125 in previous years) will receive diploma education and vocational training at Rancho Cielo. The four wings of the structure will include:
- Salad Factory Line Repair and Maintenance/Refrigeration Technician/Food Safety/Electrical (beginning in 2019)
- Sustainable Construction/Tiny Home Construction (beginning in 2019)
- Tractor and Automotive Repair (beginning in 2020)
- Ag Futures/Robotics/Production (beginning in 2021)
Thank you to those who supported the Capital Campaign to make this possible:
