PRIDE Industries is recognized for its work in creating employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment, such as veterans and former foster youth. The company provides services in facilities management and electronics manufacturing.
Lance Hastings, President and CEO of CMTA, stated, “PRIDE Industries is an exceptional addition to CMTA’s membership, and I am thrilled to welcome them to the association. Manufacturers across California are looking toward strong workforce development avenues, and PRIDE Industries’ commitment to creating meaningful career pathways and delivering high-quality products strengthens our state.
