Employees of Texas manufacturers interested in learning about programmable and small logic controllers now need look no further than Texas State Technical Colleges (TSTC) for training. In conjunction with donating $400,000 in training simulators to the tech schools throughout the Lone Star state, Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee, will offer courses on PLCs and SLCs at TSTC facilities.
