Workforce Training/Funding Programs
Round Rock will assist companies locating or expanding in Round Rock in securing state-provided job training assistance. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) offers the Skills Development Fund to finance customized job training provided by the public community and technical colleges.
The Skills Development Fund is Texas' premier job–training program providing training dollars for Texas businesses and workers. Administered by the Texas Workforce Commission, success is achieved through collaboration among businesses, public community and technical colleges, local workforce development boards and economic development partners.
For the next two fiscal years (September 1, 2009 – August 31, 2011), TWC has $90 million in Skills Development Funds to support high quality, customized job training projects across the state. Grants for a single business may be limited to $500,000.
