Industry Collaboraton Yields Positive Results

Congratulations to the Austin Hotel & Lodging Association for working with Austin Community College (ACC) to ensure Austin continues to be home to what I believe is one of the best hospitality industries in the nation. Through a recent $15,000 donation, the Austin Hotel & Lodging Association has provided scholarships for students to attend the college.

ACC is a leader in working with industry and developing partnerships that create pathways for students to earn degrees and jobs in the local workforce. Not only do these partnerships benefit the students, but they benefit the local economy as well.

The Texas Department of Agriculture wants to hear more success stories about industry and community college collaboration. Send your stories to ga@texasagriculture.com. Let's all work to grow Texas.
