ABOUT US
Formed in 2020, Aim Hire Texas is a statewide workforce initiative to encourage better talent development for all Texans, young and adult. We are identifying the gaps that prevent many Texans from finding good, high-paying jobs, and we’re encouraging innovative employers to participate in training programs that build the skills and credentials that will meet their needs and expand economic opportunities in the future Texas workforce.
Aim Hire Texas provides a statewide hub of data that provides access to new sources of private data and analysis, leveraging Texas 2036’s existing resources and analytics to maintain a near-real-time analysis of the state’s workforce. It also works with public- and private-sector officials to share emerging and proven strategies for workforce development, serving as a clearinghouse for information and leadership.
This initiative recognizes that state agencies and educators want to connect with private employers more than ever before, so a key priority will be to identify areas where jobs are open because of a lack of effective and targeted training and education programs that meet regional needs. We believe Texas can focus its workforce development priorities and incentives to produce more skilled workers in a high-talent, higher-wage economy and ensure that more Texans who need a 21st-century job can find one.
