Train your employees with the help of WCJC and the Texas Workforce Commission. If
you are a small or large business, you may be eligible for workforce funding from
the TWC to help with the cost of training new or current employees.
Workforce Training Grants
Workforce grants save you money while you train your employees and help you make money
in the long run by keeping your employees on the cutting edge of new skills and technologies.
Look into these grants to access funding.
The Skills Development Fund is Texas' premier upskilling program. SDF grants provide
site-specific, customized training opportunities for Texas businesses and employees
to learn new skills, increase productivity, and improve wages.
The Continuing Education Department at WCJC will work closely with the leaders at
your company to help develop a 12-month training plan that focuses on technical training
and encourages soft-skills development.
SDF sets aside up to $2 million dollars for small businesses in Texas. This program
is specifically designed to help businesses that have less than 100 employees. Businesses
can apply for noncredit training programs offered by WCJC. The Texas Workforce Commission
handles all the applications and works with the college to fund the courses that businesses
choose for their employees. This program primarily supports training new workers,
but it can also help current employees improve their skills.
