Summer Earn and Learn (SEAL)
The Summer Earn and Learn (SEAL) program is an initiative designed for students with disabilities aged 14-22, offering them the chance to earn a
paycheck while acquiring new skills and gaining valuable professional experience through work-based learning. This program not only empowers students
but also provides participating employers with eager and dedicated team members, enhancing workplace diversity and inclusion.
SEAL is a collaborative effort between the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), Workforce Solutions Boards, and local employers. This partnership aims to create
meaningful work opportunities that help students transition into the workforce. One of the key components of SEAL is the work readiness training provided to
all participants. This training equips students with essential skills and knowledge, preparing them for successful employment throughout the summer program.
During their time in the SEAL program, students learn about the employer's industry and develop specialized knowledge and talents. This hands-on
experience allows students to apply what they have learned in a real-world setting.
By providing these students with the opportunity to earn, learn, and grow, SEAL is making a significant difference in their lives and helping to build a
more inclusive and diverse workforce.
