Students, industry, and Texas rely heavily on the State’s only two-year technical college system to provide a well-educated workforce. In order for the College to continue its mission for all Texans, TSTC requests the following:

Maintain TSTC’s commission rate of 36% under the College’s Returned-Value Formula. The importance of the “Returned-Value Funding Formula” is that the State is measuring and funding the success of an educational institution based upon the demonstrated success of its students.

Continue to build capacity for new and existing programs to meet the ever-changing needs of leading Texas industries. With many campuses at capacity before the pandemic and the vast number of Texans out of work, TSTC will struggle to meet the training needs of the future Texas economy. Consideration of tuition revenue bonds to expand capacity at our campuses will allow TSTC to continue to meet the growing needs of Texans and the employers that hire them.

TSTC is essential to a post-pandemic economic recovery. How fast the Texas economy recovers from the pandemic depends on the State’s ability to retrain and upskill Texans who are out of work.

With 10 campuses across the state, more than 100 degrees and certificates available, and more than 100,000 graduates since 1965, TSTC is the premier provider of technical education for the Texas. With a 42% increase in graduation rates over the last five years, TSTC is continuing to supply Texas industries with skilled technicians.
The road to recovery after the pandemic will be hard on Texans, but TSTC is ready to serve. For more than 55 years, TSTC has been a valuable resource in Texas, delivering a high-value education at an affordable cost for both students and the State of Texas.
Funding the performance-driven formula for TSTC, which incentivizes the College to move beyond mere instruction and focus on the mutually desired outcome — skilled technicians for high-demand industrial and technical jobs in Texas — is the highest form of equity. In fact, it is likely the most efficient and equitable use of state funds.
