Respect. Relationships. Results. Assisting the Community in Economic Development

Welcome to the Bill J. Priest Institute, a campus of El Centro College. In 1989, the Dallas County Community College District and the private sector combined efforts to establish this 150,000 square foot facility to support economic development for the county. The Bill Priest Institute is recognized for our commitment to workforce training & services, small business development and career services. We focus on cutting edge strategies to define solutions that impact economic development. Our core focus is performance excellence that aligns to our distinction of recognition as the first higher educational institution to ever be recognized with the Texas Quality Award (modeled after the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award).

We continue to grow and serve individuals, businesses and impact entire business sectors. Driving our continuing efforts is our Vision to be the workforce development and business performance improvement leader in Dallas. We work on this vision using three key commitments: Respect, Relationships, and Results. We offer many services to support your needs, including training, assessment, and advisory services. Your customized solution is waiting … we want to help you excel and achieve performance goals.
