About Trinidad State
YOU DESIGN THE TRAINING
TO ALIGN WITH YOUR NEEDS!
Trinidad State College’s Workforce Solutions Program connects the college with the
Southern Colorado business community in an innovative way that benefits your business
and your employees. This approach is designed to help the business community aggressively
“grow your own” in a new and creative way.
- WHO WE ARE
Nestled in the heart of Southern Colorado, Trinidad State College serves communities throughout Las Animas and Huerfano Counties, and the entire San Luis Valley. We offer an exceptional and affordable educational experience. TSC works with businesses in our service area to meet current industry demands, offering short-term career training, as well as traditional college degrees. - WHO YOU ARE
The businesses of Colorado are the backbone of the economy across the state. While gaining skilled employees is becoming increasingly difficult, retaining them is another struggle all its own. Investing in your current workforce provides growth and satisfaction among employees while enhancing specialized skill development to grow your business operations. - HOW IT WORKS
TSC will work with individual businesses to develop your own unique certificates made up of current TSC online classes. The certificates will be tailored to each company based on your upskilling needs for your employees. Employers typically choose two to five classes from the list. The certificate is designed and granted by you, the employer. Classes are taught by TSC faculty. Your employees will receive college credit on a TSC transcript that may be applied to future degrees or transfer.
