About Us

The Texas workforce development system (system) provides current and future Texas workers with relevant services and programs that enable competitive and sustainable employment. The system meets the current and emerging needs of Texas employers for a globally competitive workforce.

System partners achieve this mission by developing the capabilities to deliver integrated and leveraged workforce services. These partners include:

  • Economic Development and Tourism
  • Texas Association of Workforce Boards
  • Texas Department of Criminal Justice
  • Texas Education Agency
  • Texas Health and Human Services Commission
  • Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
  • Texas Veterans Commission
  • Texas Workforce Commission
  • Texas Youth Commission

The strategy of the system is to provide its customers - employers, current workers, and future workers of Texas - with convenient and ready access to relevant and comprehensive workforce services that span a continuum from career planning and preparation, to career development and enhancement. Texas workforce services encompass education, training, support programs and services delivered through an integrated and cohesive network of state agencies, educational institutions, and community-based organizations that are accountable to the customers they serve for the successful execution and continuous improvement of the workforce development system.

These partners will achieve the system mission and strategy by:

  • providing programs and services which are relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of the ultimate customers of the system: employers, current workers, and future workers;
  • meeting system level and agency level performance objectives through coordinated planning and the execution of initiatives which produce accountable results;
  • deploying a coordinated and efficient statewide system;
  • collaborating to achieve integration of inter-agency systems, processes, and sharing of information critical to the success of the workforce development system; and
  • developing and deploying outreach and communications programs which build awareness, support, and participation for the system.
