On Thursday, March 27, 2025, Texas Mutual presented its twelfth oversized check for $100,000 to DMC, bringing the company’s support for safety training in the Coastal Bend to a total of $1.2 million. The presentation was held in the Workforce Development Center on the Windward Campus. The college first initialized training through the Texas Mutual grant with a “Bus Safety First” Program that focused on drivers with Commercial Driver Licenses, or CDLs, by providing safety instruction to drive buses for either the city or area independent school districts. The College has expanded its safety training courses and programs over the years to cover areas ranging from healthcare to construction to radiation handling to food handling to maritime safety and more. Del Mar College has trained over 6,000 individuals, including industry partners’ employees and public participants, who have taken workplace safety courses through the Workforce Programs & Corporate Services or Continuing Education departments. Courses and programs have been partially supported by Texas Mutual Insurance Company’s Safety Grant for the past 11 years.
