Serving Those Who Served Us - Skills Training For Veterans

Post 9/11-era military veterans who are newly hired may be eligible to participate in the Texas Workforce Commission's newest training opportunity, Skills for Veterans, through their employers.

Private businesses, including private nonprofit hospitals, can apply to TWC for training offered by their local community or technical college, or the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). The training upgrades skills of newly hired veterans who have returned home and entered the workforce. The grant pays up to $1,450 in tuition and fees to the college to be used in a 12-month period. This covers tuition and fees for training of eligible permanent, full-time employees.
