The Partnership for Business & Industry Training

The Partnership for Business and Industry Training at South Texas College offers customized training to area businesses, industries and the community. Training programs are tailored to the client’s needs in content, schedule and location.

This Division offers a diverse assortment of courses that satisfy employers’ needs for customized training to upgrade current employees and prepare new employees. Also, mandatory Continuing Education Units meeting licensing requirements are available for certified professionals.

Classes are scheduled with flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, throughout Hidalgo and Starr Counties.

Courses can be scheduled in response to the employers demand where 12 or more students register for the class.

The programs are staffed with Training Managers and Project Training Specialists who assess the needs of our customers and select the right candidate to customize and provide the training, and the necessary trainers who deliver the training tailored to the customer’s specifications.
