The awards were presented yesterday by TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Joe Esparza at a ceremony attended by state and local officials, school staff, and CTE students at Vernon College.

Funded by the Texas Legislature every two years, JET grants are used by TWC to cover start-up costs for developing CTE programs at public community colleges, state and technical colleges, school districts, and charter schools. The equipment purchased through these grants must be used to train students for jobs in high-demand occupations.
