Workforce Training Programs
Texas employers may qualify for state-funded training grants, registered apprenticeship support, on-the-job training reimbursements, and federal hiring tax credits. These programs pay you to train and hire — but most employers never find them.
Texas has one of the strongest workforce training ecosystems in the nation, anchored by the Texas Workforce Commission's Skills Development Fund, which has awarded over $600 million in training grants since its creation. Employers across every industry can access state-funded customized training, registered apprenticeship support, on-the-job training reimbursements through the WIOA system, and federal hiring tax credits like WOTC. These programs are designed to reduce the cost of hiring and training new workers while building a more skilled Texas workforce. The challenge is that the programs span multiple agencies and most employers only learn about them by accident.
