Workforce Development
At the Weslaco EDC, we understand the importance of workforce development. Not only is our mission to create jobs and attract businesses, but we also facilitate workforce training and provide workshops to help our local businesses build the skill sets they need to thrive and reach new heights. This is part of the comprehensive support system behind everything we do.
One way the Weslaco EDC fulfills this mission is by partnering with South Texas College to provide free training to Weslaco businesses seeking to train new employees and/or upgrade the current skills of their existing workforce.
