Dec. 16, 2024, Austin, Texas – The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has awarded nearly $13 million in grant funding to Texas higher education institutions through the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program.

The TRUE Grant Program supports the goals of the state’s strategic plan for higher education, Building a Talent Strong Texas, through the creation, expansion, or redesign of workforce education and training credential programs in high-demand occupations.

“In the fast-growing, innovative Texas economy, it is critical that workforce education and training keeps pace to continue that success,” said Interim Commissioner of Higher Education Sarah Keyton. “These grants support Texas higher education institutions as they develop programs to prepare our workforce for the future and keep our state at the forefront in a demanding, ever-changing economy.”
