🏭 2026 Oakland MFG Day was a success!

On October 1st, Oakland Manufacturing Day brought local industry to life for OUSD high school students, who toured local manufacturers to get a firsthand look at the exciting career opportunities available in the sector.

Students from Fremont Hight School, Madison Park Academy, Castlemont, Rudsdale, MetWest, Skyline, Oakland Tech, and Coliseum College Prep Academy visited two companies each, learning about the people, skills, and career pathways that keep Oakland’s manufacturing community moving forward.

Thank you to Calectra, Hodo Foods, MN Builders, and Formic Technologies for opening their doors and helping the next generation discover what’s possible in manufacturing!

The City of Oakland is partnering with the 12 Million Calls Initiative, led by NYU School of Law's Policing Project to learn from communities nationwide and identify opportunities to connect more 911 calls with specialized responders.

Oakland’s Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland (MACRO) program has been providing specialized emergency response since 2022 for appropriate non-violent, non-emergent calls, including behavioral health crises, wellness checks, substance use incidents, and other community needs.

In 2025, MACRO teams responded to more than 7,300 incidents citywide and successfully resolved 97% of eligible calls.

This partnership gives Oakland an opportunity to:
• Learn from peer communities across the country
• Improve data transparency and outcome measurement
• Share Oakland’s experience and lessons learned
• Identify where specialized response can be safely and effectively expanded

Our goal: a more responsive, effective, and person-centered emergency response system that connects residents with the people and resources best equipped to meet their needs.
