Target Occupations are determined by each Workforce Board area based on a number of economic indicators and local knowledge. These jobs can help guide you towards the right training for you skills and what is needed in our local economy. Important information about jobs, in-demand industries, and labor market trends allows job seekers and employers to make informed decisions.
We carefully choose occupations for our Target Occupations List based on specific criteria, such as their importance to our targeted industries, projected job numbers, entry and median wages in East Texas, and skill levels. This selection process involves input from local employers and approval by our Board of Directors. If you're enrolled in our programs, you may qualify for free training related to these chosen occupations.
