121 <br /> <br /> Rogers Wade <br /> <br /> January 26, 1995 <br /> <br /> Dr. Robert Lahti <br /> Texas Higher Education <br /> Coordination Board <br /> P.O. Box 12788 <br /> Austin, TX. 78711 <br /> <br /> Dear Dr. Lahti: <br /> <br /> We are currently working with Paris Junior College to upgrade <br /> the skills of workers in the area. Rodgers-Wade and other plants <br /> in Paris would, like to be able to fill skilled jobs from within <br /> the local workforce. A survey of the seven major industries <br /> in Paris indicated that the biggest gap between skills needed <br /> by industry and those currently being taught at the college <br /> was in electro-mechanical technology. <br /> <br /> For that reason, we urge the Texas Higher Education Coordinating <br /> Board to approve this application for a program in <br /> Electro-mechanical Technology. We have been involved in the <br /> development of the program and believe that it will provide <br /> workers with skills they need to be employed in local industry. <br /> <br /> If we can answer questions or provide further information <br /> regarding the need for a program of this type, please call. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> Donald G. Wilson <br /> President <br /> <br /> <br />
