Monday, January 24, 2022, Texarkana, TX- At Texarkana College’s January board meeting, trustees received notice that TC, as part of the Northeast Texas College’s Consortium, has been recommended for an award in the amount of $647,050 from the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Institutional Capacity Grant Program funded by the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund. The True grant will provide scholarships for students to earn industry certification in cyber-security and logistics occupational skills.
Dr. Donna McDaniel, VP of Instruction, said this is an excellent opportunity for regional students to quickly earn training in industry recognized, high-demand micro credentials.
“TC was selected as one of 12 TRUE initiative pilot colleges in Texas and faculty and staff have participated in advanced planning, professional development, and collaboration with peer institutions to prepare for full deployment of micro-credentials,” said Dr. McDaniel. “Courses will begin this spring and run through the summer.”
