VIDA offers comprehensive educational services for students from underserved communities in Rio Grande Valley - hoping to extend its offerings through mutually beneficial investment partnerships.
Mercedes, Texas, Oct. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Supported by robust statistical evidence, the VIDA initiative represents a lucrative investment opportunity for those seeking to promote the educational development of underserved communities within Texas. Currently operating in the Rio Grande Valley area, VIDA hopes to extend its services across other regions of the United States.
VIDA encourages students to utilize comprehensive educational programs to enhance their social and economic potential; guiding them through the academic process and helping them source and maintain promising careers. Collecting data from initial enrollment to three years post-completion, VIDA tracks the measurable impacts its services have on the increasingly high-skilled student population. The VIDA philosophy underscores: "Our students' ability to successfully move from the ranks of low-income has helped us all; their increased earnings have also enhanced their contributions to our tax system and reduced their dependence on public welfare. VIDA demonstrates a model for success by graduating participants into high-demand occupations that normally remained unfilled, or were filled, at a very high cost, by people from outside our community.”
Through the encouragement of educational growth, VIDA fosters a future generation of citizens with an advanced skill set to reinvigorate the communities they live in - not only reducing costs for employers but also empowering students to break cycles of poverty that may otherwise inhibit generational growth. Statistically, economic studies conducted by NAPCO Research reveal that, for every dollar invested into its program, $15.69 is returned to the community it serves, generating an increase of $1.3 million in state and local taxes and translating to a total economic output of $51.9 million in the local economy.
Today, the organization receives funding at federal, state, and local levels, offering a fruitful opportunity for those seeking to diversify their investment portfolios. Organizations like VIDA are instrumental in the development of the educational and economic landscapes of the United States; participating in vital work at the ground level to bridge social and cultural gaps that drive inequity. By focusing its work on some of the most underserved populations of students, VIDA ensures fair and life-changing opportunities are granted to all.
As statistical evidence reveals, the VIDA program shows promising potential for the advancement of educational and employment systems, particularly for those in need of additional support. Each service offered by VIDA is free of charge for students and program participants - providing a range of bachelor and associate-level degrees as well as shorter-term training credentials. Through funding partnerships, VIDA seeks to increase its current student capacity and serve other communities across the region - helping them to build more skilled and motivated workforces.
