Se anima a los veteranos, militares y sus cónyuges de Texas a asistir a una serie de ferias de empleo gratuitas el próximo mes de noviembre como parte de la iniciativa estatal “¡Hiring Red, White & You!”.
A series of events will kick off next week aimed at finding jobs for Texans who served their country. Across the state — 30 different locations over a span of more than two weeks will host “Hiring Red, White and You” job fairs. KXAN’s Will DuPree and Avery Travis spoke with Carlton Robinson and Damien Hancock to learn more.
Workforce Solutions Capital Area proudly hosted the 2025 Texas HireAbility Job Fair in Austin, Texas. This impactful event brought together inclusive employers, job seekers with disabilities, and community partners with one shared goal: to create a more accessible and equitable job market for all.
With tailored resources, networking opportunities, and access to local hiring companies that prioritize inclusivity, the Texas HireAbility Job Fair is a vital step toward breaking down barriers and fostering an employment landscape where everyone can thrive.
County commissioners have taken their biggest step yet towards getting families tangible access to child care following a voter-approved tax increase to fund sweeping investment in that sector last November. Of the $75 million approved last year, the county has awarded $21 million in two contracts with Workforce Solutions Capital Area to provide direct scholarships to families and gap funding to prop up inadequately state-subsidized providers.
Travis County commissioners approved an additional $21 million in contracts Oct. 7 to expand child care under the newly rebranded Raising Travis County initiative, formerly known as Travis County CARES.
Less than a year after voters passed a countywide tax rate hike to boost affordable child care, the county has now doled out a total of $55 million toward the effort.
A thousand more kids in Travis County will have access to affordable child care as early as December thanks to a new set of contracts the Travis County Commissioners Court approved with Workforce Solutions.
After Travis County residents overwhelmingly voted ‘yes’ on a tax rate hike to help the county create more affordable child care, Travis County Commissioners approved two contracts to get that voter-approved taxpayer money out the door Tuesday.
Travis County is launching a new child care program called Raising Travis County.
On Tuesday, commissioners approved $21 million in funding to create another 1,000 child care scholarships for families. The money comes from a child care initiative voters approved last year.
Officials say this will help children and parents in Travis County.
Beth Vaughn of St. David’s HealthCare shares how partnering with Workforce Solutions Capital Area is helping address one of healthcare’s most pressing national challenges: a shortage of qualified workers across critical roles.
Through collaborative efforts like the Central Texas Healthcare Partnership, Beth and other employers are strengthening clinical rotation access, improving student engagement, and increasing the number of local nursing graduates — from around 600 in 2019 to nearly 1,300 in 2024.
“Coming together has made the difference in creating a stable pipeline here in Austin.”
This is what happens when community, education, and industry align for long-term impact — and lead by example.
