The Blinn College District’s technical and community education programs have been designed in partnership with industry leaders to provide students the knowledge and skills they need to enter the workforce immediately after completion. Many of these courses do not require a high school diploma and enrollment is fast and easy.
As most of these courses are non-credit, students do not need to go through the College’s admissions process to enroll. Programs vary in length and are offered with daytime, evening, and weekend options.
In addition to individual job training, Blinn’s Division of Technical and Community Programs helps local businesses partner with the Texas Workforce Commission to obtain Skills Development Fund and Skills for Small business grants.
The Skills Development Fund provides local customized training opportunities for Texas businesses and workers to increase skill levels and wages of the Texas workforce. Blinn has secured $2.7 million in Skills Development Fund grants since August 2014, helping local employers such as Blue Bell, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, Igloo, Kaemark, Kent Moore Cabinets, NOV Grant Prideco, Stanpac, and Tempur Sealy develop and implement employee safety and skills training programs.
For businesses with fewer than 100 employees, Skills for Small Business grants provide safety and skills training for new and existing employees.
