Cerritos College announced that its Center for Applied Competitive Technologies (CACT) received the prestigious Air Force Nunn-Perry Award in recognition of its role in helping Boeing develop a small, minority-owned business.

The partnership between The Boeing Company and the Cerritos College CACT was formed in response to the lack of small, minority-owned aerospace suppliers. It is through this alliance between the Cerritos College CACT and Boeing, that the protégé KAP Manufacturing was able to create high wage jobs as well as provide paid internships and job placement for college students.
