Workforce Training Opportunities Abound

Locating in the Great Southwest Industrial District gives businesses an edge on a number of levels, but many aren’t aware of the endless training opportunities that exist within two local organizations - Workforce Solutions of Tarrant County and the Division for Enterprise Development at The University of Texas at Arlington. These two organizations in particular have worked with the corporate community, listened to their needs and responded with relevant and affordable training opportunities, as well as other business service programs. 

Workforce Solutions of Tarrant County provides workforce improvement services that serve both the jobseeker and small, medium and large businesses. Workforce Solutions primarily focuses their services on supporting specific industry clusters; in Tarrant County those targeted industry clusters are logistics and transportation, life sciences, hospitality, and advanced manufacturing.

Three significant programs that are offered through Workforce Solutions are Customized Training, Incumbent Worker Training, and On the Job Training. Services are funded through federal and state dollars and many are provided at no or minimal cost to the employer.

Additionally, the Division for Enterprise Development at the University of Texas at Arlington supports the university's missions of public service, community outreach and lifelong learning. The Division is comprised of a number of diverse training and consulting programs focusing on Management & Communications, Information Technology, Healthcare, E-Learning, Safety, Environmental, and Lean. Each division offers a number of certificate programs, such as Certified Financial Planner, Continuing Nursing Education, Microsoft Office Specialist Certificate, OSHA Certifications, and Lean Six Sigma Green and Black Belt.

The Division also offers Business Consulting services (skills gap analyses, enterprise expansion, and organizational development) and Conference and Event Planning, which may include site selection and negotiations, planning, logistics, financial management and marketing. And, in an effort to support your training and continued education goals, the Division will also assist with grant writing to fund these training opportunities.

For information on any of these programs, please visit www.uta.edu/ded or call 866-906-9190.
