\"TSC<\/div>\n

To date, the TWC has awarded TSC\u2019s Workforce Training and Continuing Education $57,700 to deliver small business training in the area and since then, TSC has provided soft skills and technical training for nearly 20 businesses and their more than 150 employees. Companies ranging from doctor\u2019s offices and insurance companies to construction and investment businesses have benefitted.<\/p>\n

One of the businesses that has been positively impacted by this training is WYCOTAX, a tax and payroll\/book keeping services company with offices in Harlingen and Brownsville.<\/p>\n

For a qualifying small business like WYCOTAX, the cost of training is covered by a Skills for Small Business grant.<\/p>\n

Owner and Chief Executive Officer for WYCOTAX Chris Wycoco said they are entering their second year of training and it has been beneficial to the growth of his 10 employees and business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always room for improvement because as businesses grow, we must adapt,\u201d said Wycoco. \u201cAnd these trainings allow us to proactively manage expectations of each other as a company, build our team and improve our skills, that in turn helps us discover what motivates us so we can all be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since beginning the trainings last year, Wycoco\u2019s team has completed training in customer service, conflict resolution management, leadership, networking basics and phone etiquette.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of effort and time, this has been a great investment for my employees and company,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m thankful that the collaboration between credible organizations like TSC and the Leadership Empowerment Group have made it possible for small businesses like us to receive the resources we need to help each other grow and gain knowledge. Our best asset as a business is our people and this takes us to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the coming months, WYCOTAX will begin its second year of training with courses in emotional well-being during a crisis, to assist his employees during the current COVID-19 pandemic, and additional leadership training.<\/p>\n

TSC Associate Vice President of Instruction-Workforce Training Joseph Fleishman said this opportunity has allowed the college to expand the education it offers to the businesses in the community and serve their training needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these grants we have access to identify skills, assess training needs and customize training for the small businesses we assist,\u201d he said. \u201cThe goal of TSC and its Board of Trustees is to engage with our community to fulfill our role as a comprehensive community college and these grants allow us to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Training partner Barbara Hinojosa from the Leadership Empowerment Group agrees that trainings like these help communities flourish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis type of training gives our local businesses a competitive advantage,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re barely scraping the tip of the iceberg with everything we can offer. Our region needed this type of training and it\u2019s been great working with TSC in providing this resource and serving our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

These trainings are aimed at small businesses with 100 employees or less and the goal is to help increase productivity and help them prosper.<\/p>\n
