Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is a partner, resource, and advocate to higher education institutions across the state.
We work in partnership with the legislature, businesses, and other key stakeholders to ensure our state’s higher education goals are aligned with our state’s economic and talent needs. We are a steward to the state’s strategic plan for higher education, Building a Talent Strong Texas.
And we help Texas students and families access the tools they need to choose a postsecondary pathway while connecting them to financial resources to support them on that pathway. We also help ensure transitions – from high school to postsecondary, between postsecondary institutions, and from postsecondary into the workforce – are efficient.
Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program
Intent

The projects proposed are required to be for career training and education 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.
