Angelina College recently has received a $12,500 award from the Center Point Foundation to support the college’s Residential and Commercial Wiring labs. The contribution will expand training opportunities for students enrolled in the Electromechanical Technology program while strengthening hands-on learning experiences aligned with industry needs.
Jeremy Sanches, Lead Instructor of Electromechanical Technology, expressed his appreciation for the Foundation’s support.
“The Center Point Foundation’s generous $12,500 donation to Angelina College will make a meaningful impact on students pursuing careers in electromechanical technology,” Sanches said. “This support strengthens the college’s Residential Wiring and Commercial Wiring programs, providing students with enhanced training opportunities and industry-relevant resources. We are grateful for Center Point’s commitment to advancing technical education and investing in our community’s future workforce.”
Angelina College will use the funding to upgrade lab equipment and expand the instructional resources available to students preparing for high-demand technical careers throughout East Texas.
The EMT courses at Angelina College offer pathways through both certification and an associate’s of applied science degree, according to Sanches. The overall goal is to prepare students for the numerous opportunities available in the field, including the achievement of journeyman and master’s licenses.
