Overview
Think of this as an opportunity to help your employees get better at their job!
Employers across Texas value workforce readiness skills, more commonly known as “soft skills.” The Texas Workforce Commission’s (TWC) Skills for Success (SFS) Program can help employers by funding workforce training in essential skills such as communication, organization, teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, digital literacy, conflict resolution, and time management.
Funds have been allocated from the Skills Development Fund to provide resources to employers to upskill their current and new employees with the skills needed to build a cohesive, responsible, and productive workforce.
