The Laredo College
Economic Development Center's (EDC) mission is to enhance the economic growth
and global competitiveness of Laredo and the South Texas region through high
quality education, training, and services focusing on continuous workforce
improvement, technology deployment, and business development. To carry out this
mission, the EDC has developed partnerships with individual businesses,
industry associations, community colleges, community-based organizations, and
local governments.
Currently, EDC is working on
several key projects. They include: providing skills development training, preparing educationally disadvantaged, unemployed, and underemployed adults for
career-path employment and post-secondary education in high-demand jobs
including the import/export industry; and providing resources and support to
area entrepreneurs.
The
Economic Development Center continuously seeks opportunities to meet industry
needs and help the community. We invite you to contact us about how we might be
of assistance.
