Setton Pistachio, a family-owned and operated pistachio company located in rural California, encountered difficulties in providing training to their employees due to their remote location and the potential productivity loss caused by sending staff off-site.

Over the course of 2018 and 2019, 33 Setton employees were selected to receive training in areas such as Industrial Electricity, Power Transmission, and Programmable Logic Controllers for mechanics, technicians, and electricians.
