SPC Stands as Top Training Provider for Ready to Work

St. Philip’s College (SPC) has held its position as the number one training provider for San Antonio's Ready to Work job placement program since the inception in 2020. This City of San Antonio program, designed to equip residents with quality workforce training and provide scholarships and support services to eligible participants, has seen significant success at SPC. 

According to the Ready to Work website dashboard, in 2023, SPC referred 1,883 new and continuing students to the program, helping bridge the gap between education and employment for the San Antonio community. 

SPC has over 100 training programs approved in the Ready to Work catalog. These programs prepare students for high-demand and high-wage occupations in local industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, hospitality, and healthcare.  

“The Student Success Enrollment Management department operationalizes efforts to inform students of the advantages of Ready to Work,” said Interim Dean for Student Success and Enrollment Management Andres Arredondo. “Advisors meet with students one-on-one by appointment and make classroom visits weekly. Our onboarding team hosts Ready to Work partners at Enroll-A-Palooza, our campus enrollment event.”  

By actively engaging students for the Ready to Work program, SPC reinforces its commitment to student success and workforce development. This strategic approach ensures SPC students benefit from the program. As a leader in workforce training and Ready to Work, St. Philip’s College contributes a strong local economy and a commitment to staff high-wage, high-demand jobs with local talent.
