The U.S. Department of Labor recently awarded the H-1B TechHire Partnership grant to North Central Texas College (NCTC) for over $3.99 million. During the next four years NCTC will scale its existing career and technical programs in IT and Advanced Manufacturing to provide education and skill training, including work experience opportunities, and launch innovative employment placement models, as a way to keep and create jobs that will fuel the North Texas economy.

Based upon the College’s 92 year history in meeting employer needs and workforce demands, NCTC partnered with 24 employers across North Texas, business-related nonprofit organizations, education and training providers, and the workforce investment system to create the North Texas TechHire Partnership (NTTP).   These partners, along with NCTC, will leverage over $3 million to add to the grant funding to train 450 young adults or underemployed workers in anticipation of their employment in high-skill, well-paying industries.

Potential students interested in careers or employers seeking trained employees in Advanced Manufacturing Programs and Information Technology Programs should contact the NCTC TechHire grant staff at 940-498-6440 or complete the inquiry form located at http://nctc.edu/TechHire
