About

Regional insight. Statewide opportunity.

The Texas Apprenticeship Discovery Series brings people together across 10 Texas regions to explore how apprenticeship and work-based learning can meet local workforce needs and open pathways to quality careers.

Employers, educators, workforce leaders, apprentices, and community partners will share what is working, discuss barriers, and identify practical opportunities for collaboration. Together, these regional conversations will help inform next steps for apprenticeship across Texas.
