Chancellor, Dallas College

Dear Industry Partner,

While emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, automation and robotics are reshaping industries, the nation is also facing a workforce shortage of nearly 3 million workers. At the same time, Texas continues to experience strong job growth, with hundreds of thousands of new roles projected across high-demand sectors.​
