Focus AreaThe Lone Star Workforce of the Future Fund (LSWF) is a program to increase the supply of qualified workers for entry-level to mid-level jobs in high demand occupations. In doing so, LSWF will ensure that the Texas workforce is capable of filling available and emerging jobs in this state. Grants may be awarded to public junior colleges, public technical institutes, and nonprofit organizations to develop and administer training programs to support this goal. Funding from this program can be used for curriculum development, instructor fees and certifications, training materials, work-related expenses, work-based experience stipends, administrative costs, and related wraparound services such as transportation, uniforms, childcare, etc. Grantees under this program must facilitate the successful transition of at least fifty percent (50%) of their program’s participants from unemployment or low wage work to full-time jobs offering a self-sufficient wage.
