Workforce Development Center

The mission of the Workforce Development center is to connect students to career and employment resources, pathways, coaching, and career navigation, while also providing employers an all-inclusive source of training opportunities for the expansion of upskilling and reskilling in the workforce.  To carry out this mission, the LC-WDC has developed partnerships with employers, industry associations, community-based organizations and local governments.

The LC-WDC has established several key initiatives.  They include: providing skills development training funds; offering workshops aimed at building effectiveness in the workplace; preparing students for career-path employment in high-demand jobs.

The LC-WDC offers grant opportunities to businesses seeking to train their employees through the Texas Workforce Commission Skills for Small Business Grant and Skills Development Fund Grant, among others.  The LC-WDC continuously seeks opportunities to meet industry needs and help the community.  We invite you to contact us about how we might be of assistance.  For more information on LC-WDC, please visit our website at https://www.laredo.edu/workforcedevelopmentcenter or contact us at 956-794-4610.
