Like a proud parent, I must brag somewhat about the Texas State Technical Colleges. TSTC was established more than 45 years ago to help create a strong Texas. At the time, Governor John Connally predicted we would become "the most sophisticated technical-vocational institute in the country." TSTC is living true to that vision with four colleges: TSTC Harlingen, TSTC Marshall, TSTC Waco, and TSTC West Texas, which has campuses in Abilene, Breckenridge, Brownwood, and Sweetwater.

Indeed, with a state-wide role and mission, TSTC is doing what we were created to do. We are efficiently and effectively helping Texas meet the high-tech challenges of today's global economy, in partnership with business and industry, government agencies, and other educational institutions.

TSTC graduates are highly valued by business and industry for their work ethic, knowledge, and workplace skills. Whether you are considering upgrading your skills, or just starting out on your career path, I hope you take the time to personally visit one or more TSTC campuses and consider joining the family of TSTC graduates.
