The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has awarded $12 million in grant funding to Texas higher education institutions through the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program.
Amarillo College will be benefiting from the TRUE Grant Program, receiving $250,000.
“The unique programs made possible by TRUE grants help institutions respond quickly to developing workforce needs across the state,” said Commissioner of Higher Education Harrison Keller in a press release. “Texas must continue to meet the demands of our workforce to ensure our state’s economic competitiveness into the future.”
The TRUE Grant Program supports the goals of the state’s strategic plan for higher education, Building a Talent Strong Texas, through the creation, expansion, or redesign of workforce education and training credential programs in high-demand occupations.
