Worker Training

Workforce Solutions funds skills training for hundreds of workers each year.

A skilled workforce is critical to the success of your business. Marketable skills also help job seekers improve their own job opportunities.

To provide the business community with the skilled workers they need, we provide a variety of training opportunities*:

Occupational skills training for unemployed workers

We fund training for low-income, laid-off, or otherwise eligible individuals in “targeted occupations” with good earning potential and in growing industries in Travis County. For a complete list of the occupations for which training is available, please click here.

Current Worker Training

We offer funding for current worker training that addresses skills enhancements identified by the employer. Courses can be taught on-site or in a classroom.

This effective, employer-driven training option can improve productivity, quality, safety, and profitability for the employer; the attained skills can develop career opportunities for employees at various levels to advance in the company or to be eligible for higher wages; and the community profits from a successful business with growth potential.

Current Worker Training is a win-win-win situation for employees, businesses, and Travis County citizens.
