Manage episode 440125003 series 3489987
BROWNSVILLE, Texas - The Rio Grande Guardian was recently given a tour of Texas Southmost College’s ITEC Center.
The Center houses the college’s workforce training and continuing education programs.
During the tour, Ricardo Treviño, TSC’s director of industry relations and outreach, introduced us to one of TSC’s industry partners, DFG Solutions, LLC. DFG places the pipe fitters trained at the college in jobs from Brownsville all the way north to Houston.
“We wanted to tailor the pipe fitting program to meet the demands that DFG has at the moment, because they're the ones out there who are placing our students in good paying jobs,” Trevino said. “So that's what we continue to do. We try to find more partners that we can connect with so that we can open more doors for our students.”
Editor’s Note: Here is an audio recording of the Guardian’s interview with Michael Sandoval of DFG and David Garcia, TSC’s pipefitting program lead instructor:
