THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE EMPOWERMENT CENTER
The Golden Triangle Empowerment Center (GTEC) is designed to
help people who haven't been afforded the opportunity to get the
necessary work skills to become successful workers in the
industrial boom stirring the Golden Triangle region.
After
decades of stagnation and neglect in the area economy, Port
Arthur is in the early stages of an economic boom.
Several
large projects involving the energy infrastructure are underway
or proposed, the two largest being the
Golden
Pass and
Sabine
PassLNG
terminals. These separate projects under construction in
neighboring Sabine Pass have brought cumulative initial
investments of $2 billion, and will employ thousands at peak
construction.
