SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND SERVICES

The Skills Development Fund is the state's premier job-training program. It provides local, customized training designed to increase skill levels and wages in the Texas workforce. It’s a proven, positive collaboration of business, local government, technical colleges, Workforce Development Boards, and regional economic development partners.
 
Small businesses, with fewer than 100 employees, can also take advantage of the Skills for Small Business program offered through the Texas Workforce Commission.  Eligible businesses may receive a grant for employees to attend training seminars locally.  It's time-efficient, cost-efficient, and enhances your small business' productivity.
