Texas Mutual has been partnering with colleges across the state since 1999 to support the health and wellness of Texans. This year, we awarded $1 million to 10 colleges in Texas to support their risk management programs. Utilizing our funds, colleges offer free or discounted workplace safety and health courses to local businesses, their employees and the general public.

This year’s safety education grants will be supporting programs at:

  • Amarillo College
  • Angelina College in Lufkin
  • College of the Mainland in Texas City
  • Del Mar College in Corpus Christi
  • El Paso Community College
  • Kilgore College
  • Lamar Institute of Technology in Beaumont
  • Midland College
  • Odessa College
  • Texarkana College

Texas Mutual also partners with the Risk Management Institute at Lee College in Baytown.

Courses commonly offered at these institutes include Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outreach courses, CPR & first aid, equipment operation and more. The colleges also provide courses tailored to the primary industries in their communities such as Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and oil and gas hazard awareness.

In the last 25 years, we’ve awarded $13 million in safety education grants to our college partners, and more than 61,000 students have attended free or discounted safety and health courses. At Texas Mutual, we know that training is the key to a safer, more prepared workforce. We’re proud to partner with colleges that share in our commitment to building a stronger, safer Texas.
