The College of the Mainland is joining a statewide effort to get Texas residents back to work.
Community colleges around the state have joined with the Texas Association of Community Colleges (TACC) to get 300,000 Texans back to work, according to the Dickinson Chamber of Commerce.
TACC's goal is to get people back to work as quickly as possible by having them fill critical positions that industries need.
“We understand now, more than ever, the importance to quickly respond to the needs of our fellow Texans through a robust offering of accelerated training and educational resources,” Dr. Warren Nichols, College of the Mainland president, said. “As we have witnessed so many of our neighbors face unprecedented job loss during this difficult time, College of the Mainland is pleased to do our part to rebuild our community by contributing to a vibrant workforce.”
The College of Mainland is offering many fast-tracked certifications and programs to help people get a financially stable job as quickly as possible. The college is also offering financial aid. More information on this can be found online or by calling 409-933-8274.
The college's fall semester starts on Aug. 24. Classes can be registered for through Aug. 22. To apply for a program or view all available programs visit the college's website.
