Job Training

Education Partnerships

The International and Community Relations (I&CR) Officer for the City of Denton works closely with the Denton Independent School District, North Central Texas College, Texas Woman's University and the University of North Texas in creating opportunities for the training and advancement of Denton's workforce. The I&CR Officer assists local businesses to form partnerships with these educational institutions in specialized training for employees and research and development projects.

Skills Development Fund

The Skills Development Fund is an innovative program created to assist Texas public community and technical colleges finance customized job training for their local businesses. Average training costs are $1,000 per trainee; however, the benefit may vary depending on the proposal. North Central Texas College has worked in conjunction with state officials on the Skills Development Fund program and would be willing to submit an application on the project's behalf.

In-State Tuition for Employees

The Economic Development and Diversification In-State Tuition incentive may be offered to qualified businesses that are in the decision-making process to relocate or expand their operations into Texas. The incentive allows employees and family members of the qualified businesses to pay in-state tuition fees if the individual files with a Texas institution of higher education. Without this incentive designation, a student must reside in Texas for a 12-month period to be entitled to pay the tuition fees of a Texas resident.
