I\u2019m excited about graduating and beginning my second career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hinojosa worked in transportation and logistics, but enrolled at TSC because he is ready to spend more time at home with his family.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Bel, senior manager of craft development for BrandSafway, offered the graduates advice as they prepare to enter the workforce where their skills are in demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are our firsts and I\u2019m so glad to be a part of that,\u201d said Bel. \u201cTake what you have learned and grow. You have a foundation now; don\u2019t stop learning. Hold yourself to a higher standard and strive to be the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BrandSafway Hiring Center Coordinator and TSC Industrial Insulation instructor Juan Salazar said he is very proud of his first class and is excited for their job offers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope each one takes their offer and uses it to grow and work hard to establish successful careers in this industry,\u201d said Salazar. \u201cThey will all be valuable assets to our company and we\u2019re excited to welcome them to BrandSafway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salazar added that he has seen these students grow throughout the two-week program, and is impressed with the skills they have obtained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will begin as entry-level workers, but we\u2019ve pushed them to go above and beyond, so if they apply the skills we\u2019ve taught them there is no doubt that they will be successful,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a well-paid field and none of this would have been possible for our company, our industry or these students without TSC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Industrial Insulation graduate Jesus Garcia agrees that TSC did the right thing in creating this brand new program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started college over in the Coastal Bend area, but COVID messed it up for me and I had to return home. But I guess it was meant to be,\u201d said the 20-year-old. \u201cI found TSC\u2019s insulation program and I knew immediately it was where I was supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like his classmates, he is excited about the opportunity of working at BrandSafway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t believe they\u2019ve offered us all a job,\u201d said Garcia. \u201cIt\u2019s a great surprise and I\u2019m ready. This program has prepared us well by exposing us to everything we will see and do out in the field. I know I can bring a lot to the table with these skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TSC President Jesus Roberto Rodriguez addressed the graduates and on behalf the TSC Board of Trustees and faculty he congratulated them on their achievement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we celebrate your achievement and hard work,\u201d Rodriguez told the graduates. \u201cWe could have not gotten to this day without the support of our industry partner BrandSafway. These partnerships are critical to helping TSC improve lives, better a community and improve our area\u2019s economy. It\u2019s a win-win for TSC, Brownsville and for our region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next Industrial Insulation class begins Nov. 30, and Salazar said BrandSafway is excited to continue this partnership with TSC to fill and meet industry needs and is ready to take the class to the next level as they move forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you create a new program, it\u2019s a process,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we are already on the right track and we\u2019re ready to change lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to enroll in TSC\u2019s Industrial Insulation program, email <a href=\"mailto:workforcetraining@tsc.edu\">workforcetraining@tsc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Javier Hinojosa was looking for a career change, and he found it in Texas Southmost College\u2019s Industrial Insulation program.
