Training and placement in high wage, high demand, careers.
Project QUEST believes that long-term training results in long-term employment, family wages, benefits and an improved lifestyle for participants and their families. The programs we offer are college-based studies and most are directed toward associate degrees from one of the area community colleges or professional training institutes. Some courses of study are based on certificate programs approved by the State of Texas and various licensing boards and, in some cases, may be offered through regional, state-certified private training facilities.
