The yet-to-open Austin Infrastructure Academy just received a $5 million boost from the city.
The funding — which will be overseen by Workforce Solutions Capital Area and go towards workforce training, childcare services and job placement assistance — was approved by the City Council during its Oct. 10 meeting.
In March, the council directed city staff to lay groundwork for a program to bolster workforce development in the city, which resulted in the Austin Infrastructure Academy.
