Governor Greg Abbott has announced the launch of a new tri-agency website aimed at strengthening Texas' education-to-workforce pipeline. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).

"Texas continues to build the workforce that will lead the economy of tomorrow," stated Governor Abbott. "That starts with supporting the education pipeline between our schools and employers. This education-to-workforce website will give Texas students the tools and training they need to succeed in the better job and bigger paycheck opportunities we provide in our great state."

THECB Commissioner Wynn Rosser emphasized, "The Tri-Agency work is a critical part of how we expand opportunity for every Texan. This website helps bring those efforts to life in a more engaging and accessible way."

TEA Commissioner Mike Morath noted, "The Tri-Agency Workforce Initiative helps expand pathways for all Texans by fostering collaboration and strengthening support for these critical efforts. This improved site provides easy access to resources and information that will help schools give students a foundation for post-secondary success."

"The new Tri-Agency website streamlines access to services and reflects our commitment to a more user-friendly system for Texans," said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. "This initiative underscores our dedication to strengthening the vital link between education, training, and career opportunities."

The website offers various resources such as grant opportunities, advising tools for education and career development, information on apprenticeships, career pathways, and insights into aligning public education with higher education and workforce initiatives.

By aligning priorities across partner agencies, this platform aims to address diverse needs within Texas' economy by ensuring that all Texans have access to necessary educational and workforce pathways.
