Maintaining a talented and productive workforce in
a growing local economy requires a commitment to
employee development. LSCPA meets the training
needs of your business by partnering with you to
tailor a custom learning curriculum that can be
delivered on site or on campus to employees.
Our goal is to provide quality training that is
current, convenient, and highly effective.
Continuing Education
Lamar State College Port Arthur recognizes that
providing lifelong learning opportunities is an
integral part of its primary mission of teaching and
community service. Continuing Education courses
and programs are an extension of the traditional
college learning process, available to community
residents in appropriate subject areas where there is
sufficient interest.
Noncredit and continuing education courses are
generally open to anyone who is eighteen (18) years
of age or older, with provision for enrolling younger
students under certain conditions.
Courses may be offered where there are qualified
instructors, suitable facilities on or off campus, and
sufficient demand. Various instructional methods
and techniques are used to accomplish the objectives
of the courses, including lecture, laboratory practice,
seminars, workshops, conferences, and presentation
via the Internet.
The College welcomes suggestions and requests for
non-credit courses.

Development
Corporation, the Texas Workforce Commission, and
the Veteran’s Administration to provide funds for
training. The Financial Aid Department also assists
students to find all eligible funding.
The Dean of Workforce Training and Continuing
Education works with local businesses to determine
if they are eligible to apply for training funds from
the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). TWC
grant programs for training include the Skills for
Small Business grant and the Skills Development
Fund.
The TWC Skills for Small Business funds are for
employers with fewer than one hundred employees.
The TWC Skills Development Fund is designed to
provide training customized to meet the employer's
needs.
