Workforce Training

The Baytown-West Chambers County region maintains strong baseline skills through aligned and high-quality high school technical career tracks and dual enrollment at Lee College, where state-of-the-art instruction at the McNair Center, along with an extensive array of certifications requiring one year or less completion, puts people on the job more rapidly and with a higher skill level. And while Texas community colleges have been the backbone of the state’s successful workforce training efforts, fast-moving Lee College is a particular standout: Between 2014 and 2022, the completion rate in certifications requiring a year or less grew 169%, and completion of associate’s degrees grew by 58%.
