Houston City College is taking its students straight from the lab to the assembly line, after inking a new workforce partnership with Tesla and celebrating its first graduating cohort at the Stafford campus.

The college signed a memorandum of understanding with the company this week and handed certificates in industrial maintenance and advanced manufacturing to an inaugural class of 12 graduates. Those students are headed to jobs at Tesla’s Megafactory Texas in Brookshire, where the automaker says it needs workers who can handle high-tech production. College and company officials said the agreement is designed to ramp up hands-on training and keep classroom lessons tightly aligned with current industry standards, with Houston City College planning to scale the program to roughly 250 students by the end of the year.
