| Overview
|
| South Texas College intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to establish its Career Pathways and Housing Opportunities program, which will be responsible for the following activities: demolishing 34 condemned homes posing threats to the health and welfare of the tenants; and training 84 participants in the areas of certified nursing assistant, general office clerk, English as a Second Language (ESL), employability skills, computer applications and financial literacy (occupational ESL), green construction, and welding. The program will take participants through a progression of knowledge and skills up to the point where they can continue their education in a postsecondary environment. South Texas College will also expand Starr County community’s access to technology through the implementation of a comprehensive Rural Technology Center strategy that couples the college’s high-quality academic programs and facilities with the Starr County community infrastructure.
