Bill > HB1147

This bill establishes a workplace soft skills training pilot program through the Texas Workforce Commission, specifically targeting Cameron County. The program will offer a six-week training course covering essential workplace skills such as workplace ethics, communication, leadership, organizational skills, and time management. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate. The Texas Workforce Commission will be responsible for developing the curriculum and establishing eligibility criteria for program participants. By December 1, 2026, the commission must evaluate the program's effectiveness in improving participants' workplace skills and employment outcomes, and submit a report to the legislature that includes a recommendation on whether the pilot program should be expanded statewide. The pilot program is set to expire on September 1, 2027, and will officially begin on September 1, 2025.
