Located near the sprawling Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, home to Tesla Gigafactory 1, Truckee Meadows Community College trains Tesla employees in advanced manufacturing skills year-round. And while Tesla itself may be polarizing, the growth of the program is undeniable: In 2023, TMCC trained 85 Tesla apprentices; today, completers number 1,000-plus and growing—quickly. “They choose the courses from our catalog à la carte, and we train their workers five days a week, all day long, in four-week increments,” TMCC president Jeffrey Alexander said of Tesla. Apprentices “come to us, usually 30 to 35 per cohort, and we train them in the basics of automated production, programmable logic control and electromechanical systems, so that they are able to get to work at the gigafactory and really be very capable from day one.”
