How we help

Our team is dedicated to helping you succeed in your job search and grow your career. With six workforce centers across the region, we provide personalized, one-on-one support at no cost. Whether you're starting out or starting over, we guide you through every step — job search assistance, career coaching, resume writing, interview preparation, and connections to local openings and hiring events. We can also help you work around barriers like transportation, housing, child care, justice involvement, or a disability, with both in-person and virtual services available.

Through WorkInTexas.com, the state's official job database, you can explore thousands of openings matched to your skills and experience. We also connect you to programs that help you earn credentials, complete certifications and degrees, and gain hands-on experience — including registered apprenticeships, short- and long-term occupational training, on-the-job learning, GED and adult education support, and skills development for high-demand careers. Financial assistance may be available to cover tuition, books, tools, uniforms, transportation, child care, and certification exam costs.

Because we work closely with the region's largest employers, we can point you toward the fields that are growing fastest — health care, education, retail and hospitality, government, logistics, energy, and construction — and show you the in-demand jobs, wages, required skills, and training options closest to home.

Getting started is simple: visit any workforce center, call us, or use the free online tools on this site. A career specialist will sit down with you, learn about your goals, and build a plan together — you set the pace, and we stay with you until you're hired.

Most services are free for anyone authorized to work in the United States. Some programs have additional eligibility requirements — each service page explains who qualifies.
