Our mission is to provide input to the Chancellor's Office in regards to   industry needs and direction.

We maintain a close liasion with the Chancellor's Office to assure that the community colleges provide the training and education necessary to meet these needs. As industry needs change, they are evaluated and eventually integrated to the respective curriculum.

This will guarantee that we can place students in the industry with skills that can assure their success.

The California Fire Technology Directors Association in collaboration with the Chancellors Office, Statewide Public Safety Advisory Committee have embarked on a project that when complete will provide us with a general assessment of California Fire Technology Programs.

The survey will provide information regarding current delivery capabilities, staffing, training resources and much more. We believe that this body of knowledge will not only assist us in making individual program improvements, but will for the first time describe the scope and depth of our fire technology programs statewide and our contributions to the training and education of the California Fire Service.
