Connecting the Dots for a Stronger Texas Workforce
Learn how connecting education, workforce, and economic data helps Texans thrive in a rapidly changing economy.
Who Benefits from Connecting the Dots?
Right now, Texas' education and workforce data has gaps that keep students, workers, educators and employers from fully connecting. Here’s how each group is affected by these missing data connections.

Employers
Employers struggle to find workers with the right skills, especially in the
regions where they need them most.
Educators
Educators and workforce training organizations struggle to
measure the effectiveness of their programs because they are limited in understanding their graduates’
career paths.
Learners & Workers
Learners and workers are uncertain about which jobs are in
demand from employers and what training programs will help them secure better, family-sustaining
employment.
Unlocking Data for a Stronger Texas
To connect the dots and build a stronger workforce ecosystem, we first need to address barriers that keep data siloed. When data is collected, linked, and accessible, everyone in Texas’ workforce stands to benefit.
