Texas Workforce Commission Grants $1.5 Million For Summer Camps
AUSTIN - The Texas
Workforce Commission
(TWC) awarded 20 grants
totaling more than $1.5
million to Texas universi-
ties and community col-
leges for summer youth
camps emphasizing sci-
ence, technology, engineer-
ing and math (STEM) dis-
ciplines.
Administered by TWC,
the effort is part of the
Governor’s Summer
Merit Program, which
aims to inspire Texas
youth to pursue careers in
high-demand STEM-re-
lated careers.
“Initiatives like the
Summer Merit Program
help Texas remain the
nation’s job creation leader
by showing students how
studying science, technol-
ogy, engineering and math
can lead to a rewarding ca-
reer in a high-demand
field,”
Gov. Rick Perry said.
“These camps provide stu-
dents with necessary
building blocks to prepare
for the workplace of the fu-
ture.”
The grants will allow
1,737 students between
ages 14 and 21 to attend
STEM-related camps, an
increase from last year’s $1
million in grants and 1,200
participating students.
“TWC is pleased to part-
ner with Texas community
colleges and universities to
offer these innovative
camps to our future
workforce,” said TWC
Chairman Andres
Alcantar. “These camps
enhance our students’
competence in STEM, po-
sitioning them for success
in high-demand careers
across Texas.”
The camps provide stu-
dents the opportunity to
explore exciting and high-
paying STEM careers such
as forensics crime science,
electrical and computer en-
gineering, aerospace and
computer gaming.
“TWC supports pro-
grams that give students a
head start toward the ca-
reers that will lead to eco-
nomic prosperity for Texas
and its residents in the fu-
ture, and the Governor’s
Summer Merit program
does that,” said TWC Com-
missioner Representing
Labor Ronny Congleton.
All camps are sponsored
by Texas universities and
community colleges and
allow students to experi-
ence life on a college cam-
pus.
“By educating and en-
hancing young leaders’
knowledge of STEM ca-
reers, these summer pro-
grams can help ensure that
Texas’ future workforce
has the knowledge and
skills needed to ensure
Texas remains the best
state to do business,” said
TWC Commissioner Rep-
resenting Employers
Hope Andrade.
