# TWC Funds Tarrant County Electrical Training

On November 13, 2026, the Texas Workforce Commission awarded Tarrant County College a **$2,241,184 Skills Development Fund grant** to deliver customized electrician and electrician-helper training for 1,000 new and current workers at Cummings Electrical. The award is an announced grant, not an open solicitation; it demonstrates how Texas is using employer-linked workforce funding to address skilled-trades labor needs.

- The grant connects a state workforce program, a community college, and an employer to train workers for specific electrical occupations.
- Workforce-training providers and contractors can use this award as an example of the state program’s employer-focused approach; the signal identifies future state program opportunities as a potential avenue, not a currently open procurement.
- Employers with similar workforce needs may find the model relevant when planning customized training partnerships with educational institutions.
