BRIDGE MOU (263)

UISD, LC and Workforce Solutions Partner to Launch BRIDGE Academy, Giving Former UISD Students a Second Chance at a Diploma & Career

In a historic signing ceremony on Tuesday, United Independent School District (UISD), Laredo College (LC), and Workforce Solutions for South Texas (WSST) came together to announce the official launch of the BRIDGE Academy, a groundbreaking program designed to re-engage former students who left school before earning their high school diploma.

This life-changing initiative, approved by the Texas Education Agency, offers former UISD students ages 18-26 the opportunity to return to school at no cost. The new BRIDGE Academy goes beyond academics, it will connect students to career certifications, college pathways, and support services including childcare and transportation.

“As educators we worry or concern ourselves with students in grades K-12, but what happens with those students who don’t finish?” said UISD Superintendent, Dr. Gerardo Cruz. “There’s a segment in our population of students who don’t finish for various reasons, and we felt it was necessary to engage them, identify them, and bring them back so they can earn their high school diploma.”

Instead of returning to a high school campus, BRIDGE Academy students will take their high school courses at Laredo College South, where they’ll learn in a college environment and also have the opportunity to prepare for the workforce at the same time. Students can explore programs like Google Management, Safety/Warehouse, Business certifications, and even train as dental or phlebotomy assistants with the potential to pursue an associate degree if they choose.

“It’s going to be housed here at Laredo College South and so we are thrilled with this partnership,” said LC President, Dr. Minita Ramirez. “Ideally through this partnership, through their time here at LC South they are also going to get opportunities to get certified, licensed or get an associate’s degree in an area of their liking. Something that they want to do for the rest of their lives or at least an area of consideration to gain some success and prosper economically.”

Support from Workforce Solutions for South Texas will ensure students have fewer barriers as they restart their education journey. “We are here to offer childcare and transportation and hopefully make it easier and more manageable for these students,” said WSST Executive Dir., Rogelio Trevino.

For Fatima Rodriguez, a 23-year-old mother of two, the BRIDGE Academy was a surprise that quickly became a turning point. She had walked into Laredo College South hoping to get information about obtaining a GED. Instead, she found something she never expected. “I saw this unexpectedly,” Rodriguez shared after walking into the press conference. “I was like, what’s going on here and I started reading that and it said, ‘Didn’t Finish School?’ and I didn’t.”

Rodriguez left United South High School during her sophomore year, unsure if she’d ever return to finish her diploma. But Tuesday’s encounter changed everything. “It’s a very big sign for me, for anyone out there that hasn’t gotten their high school diploma. It’s a big day. It’s a big day for me today,” she said, visibly emotional. “There is divine intervention in everything we do and certainly she happened to walk in at the right time,” said Dr. Ramirez.

During the ceremony, board members from each organization were present to show support, including UISD Board Vice President Aliza Flores-Oliveros, LC Trustee Jackie Leven-Ramos, and WSST Board Member Dr. Angelica R. Sanchez, affirming the shared mission to uplift and empower.

“The great part about the program is that we will have flexible schedules, credit course recovery work and end of course assessments,” explained Dr. Cruz. “The journey is different for each student. Some of them are close to finishing, they may only need a few classes to complete. Whatever it is, we want them to know that UISD is here to support them and help them become successful individuals.”

Since the launch of BRIDGE Academy, more than three dozen individuals have already completed interest surveys to begin the enrollment process.

Interested former UISD students can get started today by calling the Executive Director for Non-Traditional Learning Environments, Cynthia Ramirez or Kristina Martinez, NTLE assistant at 956.473.2114, emailing ntleteam@uisd.net, or scanning the QR code on the flyer below.

Esta iniciativa de la Comisión de la Fuerza Laboral de Texas (TWC) tiene como objetivo conectar a los veteranos de Texas y sus cónyuges con empleadores que buscan activamente las habilidades únicas de los veteranos, miembros del servicio y sus familias.

El evento estará abierto al público y contará con más de 30 puestos de empleadores y proveedores de servicios de 10 a.m. a 2 p.m.

“Estamos sumamente agradecidos con nuestros veteranos por los sacrificios que han hecho al servir a nuestro país. Hoy disfrutamos de innumerables libertades gracias a su dedicación,” declaró Rogelio Treviño, Director Ejecutivo de Workforce Solutions for South Texas, en una rueda de prensa el viernes 1 de noviembre. “Si bien los veteranos traen consigo grandes habilidades y capacitación al volver a la vida civil, a veces enfrentan desafíos para conseguir empleo. Este evento tiene como objetivo facilitar esa transición y conectarlos con oportunidades significativas.”

La TWC informó que en su 12.º año (2023), la iniciativa Hiring Red, White & You! en Texas involucró a más de 2,178 empleadores y 11,574 buscadores de empleo, incluidos 3,620 veteranos, logrando más de 500 contrataciones el mismo día.

Treviño destacó que los empleadores participantes ofrecerán puestos con salarios sustanciales para apoyar la calidad de vida de los veteranos.

“Estos empleadores ofrecen trabajos con salarios que comienzan en $15 por hora o más. Queremos asegurarnos de que brindamos a los veteranos puestos que les permitan llevar una vida plena,” agregó Treviño.

WSST alienta a los buscadores de empleo a preinscribirse para acceder más rápidamente al evento. Los interesados pueden registrarse en bit.ly/hiringyou24 y recibirán una pulsera tras la confirmación por parte de un Representante de Servicio al Cliente.

“Es una situación de beneficio mutuo,” afirmó López. “El veterano consigue empleo y el empleador se beneficia de los créditos fiscales.”

López también resaltó por qué los veteranos son excelentes contrataciones.

“La transición del trabajo militar al civil puede ser desafiante. Aunque los roles militares difieren de los puestos civiles, los veteranos aportan habilidades invaluables de liderazgo, organización y trabajo en equipo que los convierten en empleados ideales,” explicó.

Datos clave de la TWC sobre los veteranos de Texas:
Texas es el estado número 1 para negocios propiedad de veteranos y de mujeres veteranas.
