The TCC Impact. Far Reaching. Life Changing.

For almost 60 years, Tarrant County College has strengthened education at all levels, forged community partnerships and turbocharged the economy. Now we’re being recognized for it.

A new independent study by the nationally known labor market analysis firm Lightcast confirms that TCC’s value extends far beyond a traditional two-year college education.

We’re talking $2.1 billion in added income for Tarrant County. That’s huge — a tremendous return on the investment of our students, local residents and state.

Even more impressive than the dollars are the lives transformed. Many of our students are the first in their family to attend college. Some want to advance their careers; others need additional training to increase opportunities for a better-paying job. When they thrive, so do our county and our region.

The information highlighted here illustrates our economic importance and demonstrates that TCC creates value from multiple perspectives. Students receive higher earnings. The businesses and industries that employ them enjoy increased productivity. Taxpayers benefit from added revenue.

We call all of this the TCC impact. And it wouldn’t be possible without our business, industry, educational and community partners.

Thanks to them, TCC Trailblazers are spearheading corporations and leading nonprofits, caring for the sick and educating our youth, excelling in the arts and fighting cybercrime, and so much more.

We’re not just building a college. We’re growing the place we call home.
