Self-Sufficiency Meeting with Potential Employers

The Community Council of South Central Texas, Inc. (CCSCT), in partnership with Workforce Solutions Alamo, Coastal Bend College and Alamo Colleges is developing a Self-Sufficiency Fund Grant funded by the Texas Workforce Commission.

The Self Sufficiency Fund provides training grants for industry recognized certificates and credentials that lead to permanent full-time employment.

The Self Sufficiency Fund program assists adult recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and individuals earning less than $37,000 annually with a dependent child (custodial or noncustodial) or an individual at risk of becoming dependent on public assistance.

CCSCT and Coastal Bend College will host a meeting for Employers in Advanced Technology/Manufacturing and Biotechnology/Life Sciences industries to provide an overview of the grant, determine training needs of employers and seek Letters of support from interested employers. The meeting will be held at Coastal Bend College located at 1411 Bensdale Rd. in Pleasanton, TX on Monday April 8, 2019 at 2:00 pm.
