Training Solutions

• Identification of Skill Shortages: Using Labor Market Information, skills shortages are identified and occupations are targeted for the needs of local employers.
   

• Wage Subsidies/On the Job Training: Several programs in Texas help employers take advantage of public sector worker training dollars.  These often-untapped resources provide funds to eligible public colleges and private organizations to provide customized training and wage subsidies to employers willing to hire persons who are eligible for special programs provided by the Center.  For more information see TWC On-The-Job or Customized Training web page or contact our office.
   

• Customized Training: In cases where helping existing workers acquire or expand their skill base will create or save jobs, funds are available that allow local community and technical colleges to collaborate with local employers to provide customized training. The Employer Services Division is available to help local employers in drafting an application for funds, complete with necessary labor market information to document the anticipated positive employment and economic impacts of the proposal.  For more information see TWC Employee Training Programs and Funding web page or contact our office.
   

• Enhancing Internal Mobility: Workers who acquire new skills and knowledge demonstrate enhanced productivity.  The Employer Services Division can assist employers with arranging for on-site pursuit of degrees or adult basic education, facilitate industry-wide recruiting and training efforts for employers in the same sector of the economy, and work with employers to influence and shape education and training priorities in our community.
