Texas Workforce Commission programs for businesses

Whether you run a small business, a mid-sized company, or a large corporation, TWC is here to support you through programs and services as you build your business.

• TWC’s Skills for Small Business program offers help for businesses with fewer than 100 employees by funding training to upskill their workforce. Partner with a local community or technical college and let the state pay up to $1,800 for a new employee and up to $900 for incumbent employees. Common courses include Customer Service, Quickbooks, CPR, Sales/Marketing, and more.
• Tap into the federal tax credits available to employers who hire jobseekers facing challenges finding work. Your business has the potential to benefit from significant tax savings – ranging from $1,200 to $9,600 per eligible employee – and it only takes a few moments to learn more about the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
• Get the information you need to thrive at a Texas Conference for Employers event. “You’ll get a lot of inside information on how to protect your business and ensure that you are covered, and your employees are covered as well.” Gain valuable insights and network with other Texas employers.
