Governor Greg Abbott has announced the launch of a new tri-agency website aimed at enhancing Texas’ education-to-workforce pipeline. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).
“Texas continues to build the workforce that will lead the economy of tomorrow,” said Governor Abbott. “That starts with supporting the education pipeline between our schools and employers. This education-to-workforce website will give Texas students the tools and training they need to succeed in the better job and bigger paycheck opportunities we provide in our great state.”
The website is designed to offer a modern, user-friendly platform that supports this educational pathway. THECB Commissioner Wynn Rosser emphasized its importance: “The Tri-Agency work is a critical part of how we expand opportunity for every Texan. This website helps bring those efforts to life in a more engaging and accessible way.”
TEA Commissioner Mike Morath added, “The Tri-Agency Workforce Initiative helps expand pathways for all Texans by fostering collaboration and strengthening support for these critical efforts. This improved site provides easy access to resources and information that will help schools give students a foundation for post-secondary success.”
TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel highlighted the site’s streamlined access to services: “The new Tri-Agency website streamlines access to services and reflects our commitment to a more user-friendly system for Texans. This initiative underscores our dedication to strengthening the vital link between education, training, and career opportunities.”
Texans can use the site to connect with grant opportunities, access advising tools for education and career development, learn about apprenticeships, and understand how public education aligns with workforce initiatives.
By focusing on aligned priorities across partner agencies, this new platform aims to address diverse needs within Texas’ economy and workforce, ensuring that all Texans have access to necessary educational and workforce pathways.
