Texas Business Today!

Texas Employers,

Welcome to the August issue of Texas Business Today!

The Texas Workforce Commission recently hosted a free networking event in San Antonio on National Intern Day to bring together local students and small, medium, and large employers for an opportunity to network, connect, and learn. I was glad to see so many Texas employers investing their time and expertise in their future workforce.

TWC and our partners continue to work together to provide access to career pathways in high-demand jobs.  The Texas Interns Unite Conference is a collaborative effort to ensure we invest in our future talent pipeline and raise awareness about career opportunities.

As Commissioner Representing Employers, I have consistently heard from employers across the state for the need for new graduates who possess workplace skills. Hiring interns not only helps students in your community get started; it enhances the local workforce as a whole.

I want to thank every Texas employer who makes interns a priority and gives them the opportunity to gain real-world, professional experience. Additionally, creating an internship program is an excellent way to give back. Thank you for helping boost our workforce so that Texas remains the best state in the nation to live, work, and do business!
