Tri‑agency leaders describe coordinated push on credentials, P‑TECH and data sharing
Summary
Representatives of the Texas Workforce Commission, Higher Education Coordinating Board and TEA outlined a tri‑agency initiative to align K‑12, higher education and workforce programs — including credential libraries, data sharing and P‑TECH expansion.
Officials from the Texas Workforce Commission, the Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Education Agency told the House Committee on Public Education that the three agencies are coordinating on a multi‑year initiative to align education and workforce pathways.
