SANGER, Texas - ncarol.com -- SANGER, TEXAS – The Sanger Industrial Development Corporation (SIDC), in partnership with the Sanger Education Foundation and Sanger Independent School District (SISD), proudly announces the launch of the Sanger Workforce Achievement Grant (SWAG)—a groundbreaking initiative aimed at expanding Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities for students.

With a total grant allocation of $234,075, SWAG directly invests in programs that equip students with industry-relevant skills, ensuring they are workforce-ready upon graduation. The grant will support automotive, business marketing, and cosmetology programs, aligning educational opportunities with high-demand industries and fostering economic growth in the Sanger community.

Expanding Career Training for Sanger's Future Workforce

CTE programs play a vital role in building a skilled workforce that supports Sanger's economic development. Currently, Sanger ISD offers 15 CTE programs, 80 courses, and 33 industry certifications, providing hands-on training in fields that lead directly to employment. Through SWAG, students will gain greater access to state-of-the-art facilities, a modernized curriculum, and expanded industry partnerships.

Key Program Enhancements:

• Automotive Technology – Expansion of the automotive training facility, repurposing the former Sanger Middle School gym into a fully equipped space to better prepare students for careers in transportation, logistics, and distribution.
• Business Marketing – Development of a curriculum focused on entrepreneurship, marketing, and graphic design, giving students a competitive edge in various business sectors.
• Cosmetology – Establishment of a new, in-house cosmetology center, eliminating the need for students to travel to North Central Texas College (NCTC) and tripling enrollment capacity.

"Our students deserve access to the best possible career training opportunities, and SWAG ensures that they graduate with the skills and certifications needed to thrive in high-demand industries. This investment in career and technical education will create lasting benefits for our students, their families, and the entire Sanger community."

The program also fosters mentorship networks, internship opportunities, and job placement services by partnering with local businesses to bridge the gap between education and employment.

This initiative also strengthens Sanger's economic landscape, providing local employers with a pipeline of skilled, job-ready professionals.
