Data sharing & outcomes reporting
Data sharing agreements so partners see direct impact — employment rates and student outcomes.
For industry partners
Replacing an entry-level employee costs an average of $3,500–$5,000 in recruiting, onboarding, and lost productivity. Our graduates are trained, certified, and ready — but they need you to give them their first shot. If you have entry-level openings, internships, or apprenticeships in the trades, WorkTexas can fill them with OSHA-trained, certified, job-ready candidates. You open the door. We'll make sure they're ready to walk through it.
For funding partners
A $2,500 investment — the average cost of a WorkTexas training program — can return $39,520 in a student's first-year wages, more than doubling their income and moving a family out of poverty. Whether you fund a scholarship, equip a lab, sponsor an internship, or put tools in a student's hands, every dollar goes directly to changing a life in Houston. That's a 16x return on a single investment. Imagine the ripple effect.
For nonprofits & service providers
If your organization provides a specialized service — healthcare, mental health, housing, food security, legal aid — we have the community that needs it. Connect your services to our students and alumni, and together we remove the barriers that stand between people and a better life.
