PROJECT HISTORY
The EnterTech Project
is an innovative job skills training program
developed by the IC2 Institute
of the University of Texas at Austin, with
funding from the Governor’s Office of
the State of Texas, and grant administration
provided by the Texas Workforce Commission.
The EnterTech Project
was conceived to address several convergent
issues:
- the need for a skilled workforce
available to fill the growing number of
jobs in high-tech industry;
- recognition that the economic
future of Texas relies on the continued
success and growth of its high-tech sector;
and
- the need to assist
unemployed and under-employed Texans –
namely welfare recipients, high school
dropouts, teen parents, and displaced
workers – who with proper training
and supports can potentially fill the
employment needs of high-tech industry.
