(HUTTO) – Texas State Technical College is looking to expand its Williamson County team and hiring for several instructor positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Precision Machining, Industrial Maintenance, HVAC, Welding and Culinary Arts are some of the areas in which the school is looking to fill vacancies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campus Director Darren Block said teaching offers a chance to make an impact in the community. It also lets one do one\u2019s part to fill the \u201cskills gap,\u201d a shortage of middle-skilled workers to fill open positions in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy instructing the next generation of blue-collar workers in this country, we are building the future and providing a path to success,\u201d Block said. \u201cYou often hear \u2018it’s a dying art\u2019 or the \u2018skills gap.\u2019 We are filling that skills gap, or handing down that skill or \u2018art\u2019 to the next generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Block said teaching also offers a sense of pride.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching someone to do what you do is fulfilling and rewarding,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I get a call from an employer saying our student is working out great and asking if we have any more to send them, that is what it is all about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

TSTC Provost Edgar Padilla hopes those interested in strengthening the workforce of Texas will apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are seeking employees who are eager to innovate, lead and be part of changing the landscape of higher education in Texas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
