• Abstract:
  Since 1998, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) has expanded its efforts to build dynamic partnerships among the ; business, industry, and education sectors. Previous grants from the Southwest University Transportation Center ; (SWUTC) created pilot programs targeting minority populations in southern and coastal Texas. This current project ; strives to create long-term outreach programs to students in rural Texas built on these previous efforts. A number of ; the pilot programs are evolving into active programs funded by other public and private monies. These programs ; include an Industry to Work Day, participation in career fairs, teachers’ workshops, colonias outreach, and assistance ; with the South Texas Summer Transportation Institute. In order for these programs to be successful, TTI needs to ; remain an active program partner. This project provided TTI team members with the opportunity to act as facilitators ; for two years to ensure program success.
