Dallas College Foundation is proud to partner with BlackRock Future Builders as they launch a bold $30M investment to grow Texas’ electrical workforce—opening doors to high‑demand careers and long‑term economic mobility. Dallas College will support the initiative by embedding financial education into apprenticeship pathways, helping North Texans turn skilled trades into lasting financial well‑being for their families and our region.

We were excited to join our partners from across the state in Waco, alongside BlackRock and Governor Greg Abbott, for the announcement on National Skilled Trades Day. We're looking forward to helping prepare the next generation of electrical workers!
