We are honored to receive a $350,000 Texas Talent Connection Grant from the Gov. Greg Abbott’s Office.
This investment will empower 350 individuals across the Rio Grande Valley to earn degrees and credentials in high-demand healthcare occupations, in partnership with 13 regional hospitals.
A heartfelt thank you to all our partners who make this work possible, and a special thank you to the Texas Workforce Commissioner Representing Labor, Albert Treviño, III, for joining us for the check presentation this past Thursday morning. And to Rafael Vela, executive director of Workforce Solutions Cameron, for serving as our inspiring keynote speaker.
Together, we’re building a stronger, more skilled, and healthier Rio Grande Valley.
