Valley association partners with STC, Donna ISD to create construction trade school
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The South Texas Builders Association is launching a construction trade school in partnership with South Texas College and Donna Independent School District to address worker shortages in the Rio Grande Valley. Classes will begin in August at a Donna ISD facility on Hester Avenue. The initiative aims to train new construction professionals amid challenges posed by immigration enforcement affecting experienced labor availability. Entry-level wages in the industry range from $14 to $15 per hour, with potential for growth. While classes will be free for Donna ISD students, costs for the general public are still being determined.
