LAREDO CARES 2.❤ WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAM
Laredo College and the
City of Laredo have joined forces to address the need for workforce training in
our community. In light of the economic impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had in
our community, a skilled workforce is an essential part of revitalizing our
economy. By offering new skills training, people in our community will have an
increased opportunity of social mobility and financial stability, especially
those who were laid-off, furloughed or underemployed due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
This partnership will
allow eligible participants to choose from a wide-ranging set of high-skilled
programs and become certified in a span of less than six months. There are 27 short-term programs offered at Laredo College that have been identified due to
their high-demand in the job market.
