The Texas manufacturing sector is thriving, and the Rio Grande Valley is poised to become a vital component of this expanding opportunity.

In 2021, the Texas State Legislature funded the Texas A&M RGV Advanced Manufacturing/Training Innovation Now — called TRAIN >> Es Tu Futuro. This program will help connect local community members with the necessary training needed to become employed by local industry, while also engaging local educational entities to inform and prepare high school and college students for careers in advanced manufacturing. The three pillars of the program include Workforce, Innovation and Community.
