College to Provide Training for Boston Scientific

College of the Canyons’ Employee Training Institute will use grant funds to train more than 100 Boston Scientific employees in the company’s growing neuromodulation division, the Santa Clarita-based school announced. The $150,000 grant was awarded by the state Chancellor’s Economic and Workforce Development program. Boston Scientific’s neuromodulation division, based in Santa Clarita, produces microelectronic devices that modulate nerve activity for treating disabling disorders such as chronic pain. The training will benefit both the medical device manufacturer and the community as a whole, said training institute Director Kristin Houser. “With this grant we will be able to help Boston Scientific meet their corporate goals of developing and launching new products, while opening the door for potential job growth and economic expansion in the local and regional manufacturing industries,” Houser said. The program will include intensive training in project management skills, medical device software testing, electrotechnical quality standards and computer quality standards and computer-aided product design.
