Workforce Development Month Building A competitive workforce for Southeast Texas |
September marks Workforce Development Month, a time to celebrate the critical role workforce development plays in services to employers and job
seekers and our community. Workforce Development Month highlights ongoing efforts to equip workers with the skills needed to excel in today's competitive
job market. Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas offers a variety of services, including training programs, career counseling, and job placement, connecting
job seekers with employment opportunities and helping businesses find the talent needed to grow.
One of our key initiatives this month is a partnership with S&B Engineers to launch an On-the-Job Training (OJT) Youth Cohort for pipefitter helpers. This cohort,
composed of 10 recent high school graduates from Hardin-Jefferson and Port Arthur school districts, began their 16-week training on July 15, 2024. These trainees
are earning $18 per hour while learning valuable skills in the pipefitting trade.
