TJC West also houses the Skills Training Center, an innovative, joint project with Tyler Independent School District. The 75,000-square-foot training center is home to the College’s automotive technology and welding technology departments. The center and its departments are utilized by area high school students taking part in concurrent enrollment programs, offering the opportunity for college credit prior to high school graduation. Many of the students continue their studies after graduating, obtaining certification in technical fields to enter into the expanding job market. Who we serve: • Individuals wanting to upgrade their present skills • Business, industry, labor, government and professional groups needing to supplement their own training • Individuals and groups seeking to enhance the quality of living in the community through cultural and enrichment studies
