In honor of National Manufacturing Month, celebrated every year in October, the City of Morgan Hill Economic Development Team took (42) high school students on in-person tours at two local manufacturing facilities.
The first tour was hosted by SunBasket, a food prep and delivery company that prepares millions of meals per week for hungry customers around the West Coast. Students were amazed by the intricacies of the food preparation and preservation process, and the chilly 33 degree temperature of the refrigerated spaces.
The second tour was hosted by Creative Manufacturing Solutions (CMS), a privately owned sheet metal company specializing in CNC punching, laser cutting, forming, welding, and in-house powder coating. CMS was a familiar location for a handful of students who were partaking in their second tour of the facility and also for two students who were already enrolled in the company’s internship program. Questions about the machines and punching process poured from first-time students driven by an interest in machining and the trades.
The day was rounded out with an afternoon pizza party, and because it was organized during tradition school hours, a quiz with some good natured competition between Live Oak and Sobrato Students.

Beginning July 1, 2020, the Paid Family Leave (PFL) Program was expanded from six to eight weeks, and the 12 week non-paid protected leave was expanded to all businesses, regardless of business size. The California Employment Training Panel (ETP) and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA), recently announced the availability of up to $1,000,000 in California State General Fund dollars, for California Small Businesses impacted by the Paid Family Leave (PFL) Program. The PFL SB Grant will provide to CA small businesses with 51-100 employees a payment of $1,000 and a payment of $2,000 to CA small businesses with less than or equal to 1-50 employees.
The grant funds are meant to help offset the costs incurred when training employees to cover the duties of the individual utilizing Paid Family Leave. Increased costs can include: training and upskilling existing staff to cover the duties of the employee on PFL, hiring and training additional staff to cover the duties of the employee on PFL, and the marketing, recruitment, and training costs to cover these activities.
