What I Learned in HR This Week - A Part of the TWC I Did Not Know About!
What a great surprise! This week I learned about the Texas Workforce Commission's (TWC) Workforce Training Initiatives. Did you know that the Skills for Small Business Program offers up to $1,800 for new employees and $900 for incumbents? Small businesses can apply to TWC for training provided by a local community college. TWC will then work with colleges to fund the courses, and businesses can select the courses to customize training to their needs. Check out https://lnkd.in/gkUEbDJy for more information.
Employers can also participate in the Texas Conference for Employers, a series of annual seminars held across the state that cover state and federal employment laws, as well as the unemployment claim and appeal process. And for those looking for a place to search for candidates, post jobs, and find labor market information, Work In Texas is a free resource that provides wage data and labor market data by industry. It also includes resources on preventing and managing layoffs and expanding your business. Check out https://lnkd.in/gh9EzA-u for more details.
In addition, TWC offers several non-traditional work resources, including support for recruiting and hiring individuals with disabilities and veterans. They also have a Shared Work program to help prevent layoffs and can assist with Child Care and Talent Development for all your workers. Finally, TWC supports employers in offering accommodations that might otherwise be beyond their capabilities. If you have a worker you’d like to hire with concerns about accommodation, start with TWC! Learn more at www.workforcesolutionstexoma.com.
