DREAM IT. DO IT. SOUTHEAST TEXAS, 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Dream it. Do It. Southeast Texas, a grassroots effort aimed at creating awareness and raising the perception of industry jobs, celebrated its fifthyear anniversary on August 18, 2021.

“This is a great milestone for the organization and for the gulf-coast region. Over 42,000 students were educated by the Dream It. Do It. (DIDI) Initiative,” said President of Economic Alliance Chad Burke. “As a result, the Greater Houston area has been able to fill industry positions with highly skilled and motivated individuals. I cannot thank the hundreds of Ambassadors in all the participating organizations enough. It is because of their hard work and drive that we have achieved this milestone.” In 2016, a growing national problem of skilled workforce shortages threatened the Gulf Coast region. In response, Economic Alliance Houston Port Region founded the DIDI Southeast Texas Education Foundation as a way to leverage power behind the national DIDI movement. Later, The Greater Houston Partnership recognized the value of the DIDI vision and created Upskill Houston as a way to pursue the same goals. Founding organizations Economic Alliance, BASF, INEOS Olefins & Polymers, San Jacinto Community College, and Lee College all supported the initiative.
