The Texas Advancement Center offers full scholarships for its critical education courses to the 19,000 DFW furloughed airline workers

(Black PR Wire) Texas Advancement Center (TAC), an educational hub for North Texas, has announced a generous donation of educational scholarships for its critical education courses and benefits, to those airline industry workers recently furloughed. As of October 1, 2020, up to 50,000 airline workers across the country – including pilots, baggage handlers, flight attendants, counter agents and more, were furloughed. As many as 19,000 of these individuals were employees of DFW-based airline, American Airlines.
