Texas Reskilling and Upskilling Through Education (TRUE) 2023 Grant Program

The goal of the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program is to support public higher education institutions to create, redesign and expand short-term workforce education and training programs in high-demand occupations.

In 2023, TRUE Grant Program funding will be awarded competitively through a Request-For-Applications (RFA) process. The projects proposed are required to be for education and training programs shorter than six months in duration, industry-aligned, in high-demand fields, and developed with the participation of key workforce actors such as employers, workforce boards, economic development corporations, and trade associations.

Funding Source

The TRUE Grant Program was provided with biennial appropriations during the regular session of the 88th Legislature.
