Governor Greg Abbott has announced the launch of a new tri-agency website aimed at improving Texas’ education-to-workforce pipeline. The website is the result of a partnership among 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,” said 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.”

Wynn Rosser, Commissioner of THECB, commented on the collaboration’s goals: “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.”

Mike Morath, TEA Commissioner, emphasized how the site can support schools: “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.”

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

The new platform aims to align priorities from each agency partner so that Texans can find resources supporting their education and career development needs.
