The Texas Southmost College Foundation made an unprecedented investment in local workforce development by allocating $1 million for workforce training scholarships at Texas Southmost College during their regular board meeting this week. The allocation will fund student scholarships for a variety of workforce programs such as aerospace, manufacturing, construction trades and health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Texas Southmost College Foundation Board of Directors provides stewardship for the college\u2019s scholarship endowment, which assists students in earning a college degree or certificate, helping to transform their lives,\u201d said Manny Casanova, TSC Foundation Board of Directors President. \u201cThis latest investment complements robust efforts underway at TSC to cultivate an even more sustainable and resilient regional economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSC President Jes\u00fas Roberto Rodr\u00edguez said the college has been working collaboratively with economic development organizations and industry partners to ensure the Lower Rio Grande Valley remains a destination for innovative businesses and entrepreneurship, fueled by a high-quality workforce. He said investments by the TSC Board of Trustees, TSC Foundation, public entities and private partners have strengthened TSC\u2019s position as the destination for regional workforce training.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the current investment by the TSC Foundation, the TSC Board of Trustees continues to do its part in supporting academic and workforce development programs by investing $23 million in capital investments over the past four years,\u201d said TSC Board of Trustees Chair Ruben Herrera.<\/p>\n

He said the investment funded active learning classrooms and state-of-the-art workforce labs for programs such as welding, plumbing, pipefitting, electrical, Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance Technology and the Criminal Justice Institute.<\/p>\n

Casanova noted that the TSC Foundation\u2019s $1 million investment provides student scholarships for short-term training programs that are not funded by federal financial aid, meaning students must either pay out-of-pocket or rely on other outside sources of funding. He added that while the TSC workforce grants team has been very successful, earning awards of more than $1.6 million in just the last nine months, each grant specifies unique criteria for scholarship distribution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe foundation\u2019s investment will ensure more students are eligible for workforce training scholarships to support students\u2019 needs that are not covered through other grant programs,\u201d Casanova added.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez said the college\u2019s workforce development team prioritizes meetings with industry partners to listen to their plans for the future and works collaboratively with them to build training programs to address their workforce needs. As a result, TSC has established a variety of new workforce programs, such as Forensic Macro Photography and Industrial Insulation\u2014which are the only ones of their kind in the nation\u2014with more to come, such as Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) pilots and maintenance.<\/p>\n

Community members interested in the available scholarships to upgrade their skills or train for a new career may contact TSC\u2019s Workforce Training and Continuing Education division at wtce@tsc.edu<\/a> or 956-295-3724.<\/p>\n
