Temple College learned Thursday morning it will receive a grant worth nearly $10 million through the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund.
Governor Greg Abbott made the announcement Thursday morning. As a result, a $9.8 million TSIF grant will be extended to Temple College for a new Central Texas Chips Hub in Taylor. This is the second TSIF grant to a Texas higher education institution.
“Texas is where the next generation of innovation and technology is building, thanks to our skilled and growing workforce,” Abbott said. “Through hands-on workforce training, Temple College opened doors to high-demand, good-paying careers for students throughout its nearly 100-year history. By establishing the Central Texas Chips Hub in Taylor, Temple College will expand skills training opportunities and create a continuous talent pipeline to meet employer demands in our leading semiconductor manufacturing industry. Together with our higher education partners, we will connect more Texans to better jobs and bigger paycheck opportunities that we provide in Texas.”
