Those of you looking for new jobs should be pleased to know that Governor Greg Abbott has launched the Texas Jobs Council, a new advisory board to strengthen Texas’ workforce development initiatives and ensure Texans are prepared to fill the state’s growing number of high-demand jobs, following the Council’s inaugural meeting at the Governor’s Mansion.
The Council will focus on:
- Executive actions that can be implemented immediately by state agencies to reduce regulatory burdens and red tape surrounding workforce development
- Policy and legislative recommendations to be presented to the Governor and Legislature ahead of the 90th Legislative Session
The Council will deliver a final report in November 2026 outlining recommended executive actions and legislative proposals to strengthen Texas’ workforce development system.
