Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) is one of the largest community college systems in Texas, employing more than 7,000 people, and serving more than 3 million people since its establishment in 1965. DCCCD estimates that more than half of its nearly $150 million a year budget for supplies and services is spent in Dallas County. With a mission to ensure Dallas County is vibrant, growing, and economically stable for future generations, DCCCD also offers numerous free training programs, including skills building for small business owners, one-on-one financial counseling and money management classes for current students, and workforce development for people 16 or over who lack the basic skills needed for college or career success.
