MCCC began for two reasons:
1. The construction industry is having difficulty finding qualified employees.
2. There is an increasing need for construction workers, especially after the recent devastating fires.
In November of 2017, the need for trained workers was recognized, and a number of local professionals, educators, and contractors got together to establish the MCCC. Some of the parties involved with starting the MCCC are:
North Coast Builders' Exchange
Richmond Construction
Community Foundation of Mendocino County
Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce
Crane of Ukiah
Granite Construction
Ukiah Unified School District
Selzer Realty
Mendocino College
Mendocino County Office of Education
and other local employers
