Toolkit Technologies is here to help you navigate, understand and apply for the Texas Workforce Commission’s 2023 JET Grant program.

What is a JET Grant?

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is seeking Applications from public junior colleges, public technical institutes, public state colleges, Texas Independent School Districts (ISDs), Open-Enrollment Charter Schools, and the Windham School District to purchase and install Equipment necessary for the development of a new or existing CTE Course(s) or Program (CTE Program) that leads to a license, certificate, or post-secondary degree in an Eligible Occupation.

Officials within the TWC are looking for educational institutions to apply for funding for its Jobs and Education for Texans grant program. This program has been wildly successful over the past several years in helping schools acquire the funds to purchase often expensive equipment related to Career and Technical Education.

The funds available through this grant are designed to “defray the start-up costs associated with developing CTE programs” and help prepare students for employment in local, high-demand occupations that lead to a license, certificate, or post-secondary degree.

• Equipment must have a useful life of more than one (1) year and an acquisition cost of more than $5,000.
• Maximum application allowance: $350,000
• The awarded grantees (schools) must provide matching funds of at least 5% of the total cost of the application.
