Summary
Texas State University has teamed up with Saleen Performance and Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area (WSRCA) to launch a free training program focused on composite materials at the Round Rock Campus. Participants in this program will not only gain valuable skills but also have the opportunity to secure apprenticeships and potential employment with Saleen, a leader in high-performance automotive manufacturing.
This initiative highlights the importance of partnerships between educational institutions and industry leaders in addressing workforce needs. By providing specialized training at little to no cost, the program aims to fill 'middle skills' jobs in Central Texas, creating pathways for students to enter high-demand careers and contribute to the local economy.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
