Preparing Tomorrow's Workforce
Dallas College Foundation works closely with employers and industry leaders to equip the workforce of the future. We ensure that students are trained by faculty who know the latest in their fields, in world-class facilities outfitted with industry-leading equipment, while gaining experience with industry and community organizations that will set them on a path to great careers.
State of the art learning environments
To be career-ready, students need classrooms, labs, and training centers with advanced technology that mirrors the workplaces of today and tomorrow. Dallas College Foundation funds the state-of-the-art equipment and facilities that are more typically found in private institutions, especially in cutting-edge fields like healthcare, information technology, and advanced manufacturing.
Upskilling faculty for today's industries
Dallas College Foundation invests in partnerships that bring employers into the classroom to co-design curricula and equip faculty to teach for tomorrow’s economy, including industry fellowships that upskill existing faculty, visiting industry instructors, and future-ready curriculum development.
Experiential learning
Working in partnership with the business community, we’re creating apprenticeships and other experiential learning opportunities so that students can earn while they learn, alongside targeted mentoring and resources for students who want to start their own business.
