Safely Making California – that’s what we’re talking about in this episode of Made in California. During this virtual road trip we've visited small businesses across our state, learning what they're doing to keep not only their customers safe, but also their employees as they work to reopen. A main part of that conversation is an acronym that has come to mean so much to ALL Californians. PPE, or personal protective equipment, is a vital part of our reopening process and that’s why today’s episode is a conversation around a new initiative announced by Governor Newsom. A new partnership between the State of California, the California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA), and Autodesk has created the "Safely Making California” Marketplace to help fill a critical gap for all sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will connect CMTA member manufacturers and other manufacturers to employers who have the need to purchase non-medical grade PPE.
