Training and placement in high wage, high demand, careers.
Project QUEST believes that long-term training results in long-term employment, family wages, benefits and an improved lifestyle for participants and their families. The programs we offer are college-based studies and most are directed toward associate degrees from one of the area community colleges or professional training institutes. Some courses of study are based on certificate programs approved by the State of Texas and various licensing boards and, in some cases, may be offered through regional, state-certified private training facilities.

QUEST Prep is a self-paced program developed by Project QUEST and is led by a professional educator in a dedicated learning center. Group instruction is given in areas identified as deficient in most of the students in a given class. Participants proceed at their own pace in other areas of remediation. The goal is to lift the education level from as low as 6th grade in reading or math to a college level. QUEST Prep was piloted and refined in-house on a very small scale beginning in March 2007 in partnership with the San Antonio Independent School District and Region 20.
Training is provided by accredited institutions including the Alamo Colleges, the University of Texas Health Science Center, and the Baptist School of Health Professions. Specialized boot camp training is provided through the Rackspace Open Cloud Academy, Code Up, and USAA via their VET FIT program.
Applying is a multistep process that includes: Applicant Information Session, Testing (math and Reading level), Intake and Assessment, Certification, and Final Interview.
Project QUEST’s strategy involves the following components: Identification of demand occupations, outreach, recruitment, comprehensive applicant assessment, academic enhancement, occupational or customized skills training, case management, work readiness training, support services, and transition to employment services. Participants receive their occupational training from accredited institutions including the Alamo Colleges, University of Texas Health Science Center, the Baptist School of Health Professions, Rackspace Open Cloud Academy, Code Up, the San Antonio Coding Academy, and USAA via their VET FIT program.
