Lamar State College Port Arthur took part in a check presentation ceremony with Texas Workforce Commissioner Alberto Treviño III this past week celebrating the College’s Jobs and Education for Texans Grant. LSCPA received a Texas Workforce Commission grant for $142,500 and an additional $87,500 in matching funds from Communities Unlimited for a total award of $230,000. The money has been used to purchase new CDL simulation units, which have already been installed in the Deep East Texas College & Career Alliance facility in Jasper.
