Dallas College Invests $1M To The Garland Center To Bring Training in Manufacturing and Industrial Technology To The Community

Dallas College is investing more than $1 million to develop state-of-the-art manufacturing and industrial technology laboratory facilities to train and upskill a future workforce through the Garland Center, where Dallas College has already forged a two-decades-long partnership to prepare a workforce ready for the jobs of tomorrow.

“Workforce training is a crucial element to any thriving community,” said Dr. Veronique Tran, vice provost of Dallas College’s School of Manufacturing and Industrial Technology (MIT). “With this investment and critical support from the state, we will be renovating and expanding hands-on labs at the Garland Center to deliver fast-track programs for entry-level technical jobs. Our strong and growing industry partnerships will ensure that we train skilled technicians to meet the needs of the advanced manufacturing industry.”
