Where we came from

In 2015, the Texas State Legislature invested in improving college and career planning and readiness, creating Texas OnCourse. This investment fueled unprecedented collaboration between K–12 educators, state agencies, higher education institutions, and employers across the state. Since its inception, the Governor’s Tri-Agency Workforce Initiative has facilitated strong partnerships to best serve Texas students and families.
