Texas Reskilling and Upskilling Through Education (TRUE) 2023 Grant Program

Program Purpose

The goal of the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program was to support public higher education institutions to create, redesign, and expand short-term workforce education and training programs in high-demand occupations.

In 2023, TRUE Grant Program funding was awarded competitively through a Request-For-Applications (RFA) process. The projects proposed were required to be for education and training 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.

The TRUE Grant Program was provided with biennial appropriations during the regular session of the 88th Legislature.
