Media Advisory -- TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP)
(TC Energy), the TC Energy Foundation and Comp-U-Dopt, a nonprofit
providing technology access and education to underserved youth,
celebrated the launch of the TC Energy Tech Hub (Tech Hub) with a
ribbon cutting ceremony followed by a community computer
distribution.
“Our donation to Comp-U-Dopt demonstrates our commitment to
education and job training in the communities where we live and
work to create a future workforce that is diverse and skilled,”
said Stan Chapman, Executive Vice-President and President of U.S.
and Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines, TC Energy. “Houston is an
important city to TC Energy, it’s our U.S. headquarters and home to
many of our valued workforce. We are committed to supporting
initiatives that create a vibrant and resilient community.”
The Tech Hub was made possible by a US$200,000 donation from the
TC Energy Foundation. This space will allow Comp-U-Dopt to deliver
high quality, hands-on, STEM education programming to hundreds of
students in the Houston area. In addition to the monetary donation,
TC Energy also donated 150 tablets and power adaptors to be
refurbished and given to students in need to ensure they can access
technology and decrease the technology skill gap.
“We know that by providing not only the tools, but the training
students need, we are enabling them to see a new path forward and
help to create the next generation of innovators,” said Megan
Steckly, CEO, Comp-U-Dopt. “The support from TC Energy and other
philanthropic partners ensures more youth have access to programs
that align with high demand careers and a bright future for our
communities.”
Following all CDC recommendations and the advice of the local
government, Comp-U-Dopt hopes to have the first class of students
experiencing the Tech Hub in early 2021.
