“This check is utilized by the college for a number of things, but more specifically their risk management institute. It’s to enhance their training capabilities for the public and local employers to be able to send their employees out to receive safety training and get them field ready. So, when they do step out, they’re aware of the exposures and hazards that they’ll see on a day-to-day basis.’
In 2025, the Texas Mutual grant has supported training for 920 students at Odessa College, including 442 participants in CPR certification, 220 students in early childhood safety, with additional students completing courses focused on workplace safety and energy industry practices.

“I’ve trained over twenty-six different rescue companies that’s come here from California, Uh, Oklahoma, North Dakota with that word of mouth. They come in here, and the Texas Mutual Insurance grant helps to fund some of that training for these companies.”
Over a 27-year period, Texas Mutual has awarded $1.2 million in safety education. The grants are one way Texas Mutual is delivering on its commitment to build a stronger, safer Texas. For DRB Media Communications Digital News, Danny Barrera.
