Valley association partners with STC, Donna ISD to create construction trade school
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The South Texas Builders Association has partnered with South Texas College and Donna Independent School District to establish a construction trade school in Donna. This initiative aims to address labor shortages in the construction industry exacerbated by recent immigration enforcement actions. Classes will begin in August at a Donna ISD facility, with STC providing instructors. Efrain Gomez Jr., a local construction company owner, highlighted the urgent need for skilled workers, noting that delays in projects lead to increased home prices. While classes will be free for Donna ISD students, costs for the general public are still being determined.
