About this opportunity
The Texas Workforce Commission is requesting applications from Local Workforce Development Boards for the Workforce Innovation Fund (RFA 32027-00021), with applications due September 30, 2026. Only Workforce Development Boards are eligible applicants.
Projects must fall within allowable uses of WIOA Statewide funding and align with the Texas Workforce Commission Strategic Plan. The scope encompasses locally sourced workforce development innovations that sit outside each Board's existing programs and contractual obligations. Funded projects must demonstrate scalability — the applicant must show that the model will sustain after grant funding ends and can be expanded to other regions or Board areas in Texas — and must articulate measurable impact on the local workforce area.
The application window opened August 11, 2026. No specific contract value, contract term, or award timeline is stated in the source material.
Opportunity text
Project Description The Workforce Innovation Fund provides Local Workforce Development Boards (Boards) with the opportunity to develop projects and apply for funding to support locally sourced innovation in workforce development. To apply for funds through this initiative, projects must not be within the scope of the Board's existing programs or contractual obligations.

Applicant Eligibility Requirements: Eligible Applicants under this RFA are Workforce Development Boards.
