Project ARRIBA & Texas Tech Sign Strategic Partnership
February 25, 2019
The Project ARRIBA staff and board of directors are proud to announce that on February 25, 2019 Project ARRIBA entered into a partnership with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso (TTUHSC EP) Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing. Project ARRIBA and TTUHSC EP have a common interest in educating and developing the El Paso workforce. Therefore, Project ARRIBA and TTUHSC EP have agreed to work together toward improving the skills and employability of El Pasoans. TTUHSC EP’s mission is to improve the lives of people in our State and our community by focusing on the unique health care needs of socially and culturally diverse border populations through excellence in integrated education, research and patient care. As part of this new partnership, Project ARRIBA will offer support services and case management for low-income individuals pursuing their education at TTUHSC EP. I have attached the MOU to this email.
Additionally, Project ARRIBA has been awarded $200,000 from the Workforce Solutions Borderplex to provide case management and job placement services for students enrolled in post-secondary health education courses at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, University of Texas at El Paso, and/or El Paso Community College. With this newest investment, along with our current grantors which include, City of El Paso, County of El Paso, and Texas Workforce Commission – Wagner Peyser, Project ARRIBA will now be able to support a cohort of Bachelor of Science (BSN) nursing students at TTUHSC EP.
Project ARRIBA is proud to add Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso (TTUHSC EP) Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing as our newest training provider. This is a great partnership that will expand our assistance reach to individuals across the El Paso community pursuing their BSN.
