Extension is Realistic.
TEEX is an internationally recognized leader in emergency response training, workforce training, and technical assistance. We have expanded our outreach efforts to Texas communities to offer timely and practical assistance in these areas through our robust regional network.
Extension is Relevant.
With regional managers and coordinators in six regions across the state, we can tailor training, response and technical assistance to solve problems that local communities, agencies and facilities are challenged with right now. Our work is focused on developing solutions for both everyday issues and sudden emergencies, no matter what the circumstances entail.
Extension is Impactful.
Over the past 10 years, TEEX has served an average of more than 100,000 Texans annually, reaching 98 percent of Texas counties. Our experts can provide hands-on assistance and training in a variety of topic areas. No job is too big or too small for us to tackle.
