Texas Skill Standards Board Recognition
Congratulations to Sid Bolfing, John Pedrotti and Megan Cooper on recognition from the Texas Skill Standards Board for the Solar Energy and Nanotechnology AAS degree programs.

This recognition follows extensive work with the TSSB on skill certification and resulted in a $20,000 grant award, which can be used in the advancement of these new programs at TSTC. When budgets are tight, funds like these make a real difference.

Workforce Development Team Secures State Funding

Congratulations to David Day, associate vice president for Student Learning, and Diana Sphar, project manager for Workforce Development, on their successful grant proposal for funding from the Texas Workforce Commission's skills development fund.

Working on behalf of local business partner Associated Hygienic Projects (AHP) and with faculty members from TSTC's Instrumentation, Computerized Controls & Robotics Technology, David's team secured $304,948 in grant funds. This award includes $86,860 to establish a Siemens training lab to operate with the Allen-Bradley equipment already in use in the ICR Department.

A check presentation should be scheduled to coincide with AHP's grand opening in October.
