ABOUT THE INITIAITVE
Governor Greg Abbott established the Tri-Agency Workforce Initiative in March 2016. Through the Initiative, the commissioners of the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) work together to help Texas grow in economic prosperity.
TRI-AGENCY PRIORITIES
In response to the charges laid out by Governor Abbott, the Texas Education Agency, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and Texas Workforce Commission partnered to identify three high-priority focus areas for the Tri-Agency Workforce Initiative. Bold action in all three areas is underway to advance the Tri-Agency’s mission and vision.
Priority One: Pathways
Support efficient and flexible pathways to earning degrees, certificates, and other credentials linked to high-wage, in-demand jobs.
Priority Two: Support
Ensure students receive the support necessary to succeed at all stages of their education and in their transitions to the workforce.
Priority Three: Infrastructure
Create a robust infrastructure for interagency collaboration around common goals, data, and processes to ensure improved student outcomes and meet employers' needs.
