Workforce grants in N. NV

Looking into the $20 million in grants,  as far as manufacturing goes, it seems GBC and TMCC only focus on one thing,  Machining.  Now,  I'll agree that machining is an important aspect of manufacturing, but so is the maintenance of those machines, and the pneumatic hydraulic, electrical, and electronic systems that run them  AND the rest of the manufacturing process.  Industry can only absorb so many "machinists" ...  but this seems to be the main focus (GBC is the exception,  they seem to realize that there are multiple facets to an Applied Industrial Technology program).  While it looks like Tesla will have no problem finding trained machinists, heaven help them finding trained electricians, electronic techs, instrumentation & control techs, automation techs, (and on and on and on).  N. NV is also a big warehousing area.  Have you ever seen the automated systems it takes to run a high-tech warehouse?  NO, we are NOT turning out the well rounded technical workforce NV needs.  Time to rectify this before its too late.
