How to Apply for Workforce Solutions Funding in Texas

How to Apply for Workforce Solutions Funding

Texas Workforce Solutions can pay for your trade school training. Here is how to apply.

Step 1: Find Your Local Office

Texas has 28 Workforce Development Boards with offices across the state. Use our Workforce Solutions finder to find the office closest to you.

Step 2: Attend Orientation

Most offices require you to attend an orientation session before you can apply for training funds. During orientation, you will learn about available services and the application process.

Step 3: Meet with a Career Counselor

After orientation, you will be assigned a career counselor. They will:

• Review your work history
• Discuss your career goals
• Determine which training programs you qualify for
• Help you complete the application

Step 4: Gather Your Documents

Bring the following to your appointment:

• Photo ID (driver's license or state ID)
• Social Security card
• Proof of address (utility bill, lease agreement)
• Proof of income or unemployment status
• DD-214 (if you are a veteran)

Step 5: Get Approved

Once your counselor reviews your application, you will receive an approval letter. This letter authorizes payment for your training at an approved school like American Training Institute.

Step 6: Enroll at ATI

With your approval in hand, apply at American Training Institute. We handle the rest — enrollment, scheduling, and coordination with your Workforce Solutions office.

How Long Does It Take?

The entire process typically takes 1 to 2 weeks from your first visit to approval. Some offices move faster.
