The new department is located at TCC Northwest Campus in north Fort Worth and wants to provide established companies with tailor-made training for their employees.
The corporate solutions center is a sprawling 35,square-foot facility on the third floor of TCC Northwest Campus. The location is key, Bryant said. The center sits on the runway at Alliance Airport , and is surrounded by a variety of companies, including Hillwood. The Corporate Solutions and Economic Development office has an entirely new team and is just starting to get to work, Bryant said.
Companies have started to use the center to hold meetings and luncheons. Behind the scenes, staffers have been working with companies to set up specialized training.
For example, Bryant, who has been in her job for two years, pointed to one company that needed a customized titanium welding training program. Another company had TCC create a customized mentorship program for a new vice president. Kellie Brunn, the co-owner of two Fort Worth-based companies, recently had her team go through a series of leadership training.
TCC worked with her to find the right lessons she wanted to teach. She also worked closely with the local chambers of commerce. The specialized training TCC can create for companies is one way to differentiate Fort Worth from other communities, Strayer said. Fort Worth has to stay out in front of trends — such as building electric cars — and be prepared for them, he added.
Providing training to employees also is about giving underserved populations a shot at climbing up to decision-making positions. Bryant discusses that with employers and how they are ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion are part of their discussions with their workers.
That approach, she said, can help companies keep more of their employees — and lift everyone up. Bryant wants companies to rethink how they view their employees. I look at them as an investment.
