We must ensure that all students across every region of the state have access to high-quality learning opportunities that equip them with the skills and credentials they need to get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries. #txed #txlege

[TxEdStrong @TxEdStrong]

The Texas economy is better off when working parents have access and flexibility when it comes to high quality child care.

When surveyed by the @DallasFed late last year, Texas firms ranked "labor shortages/difficulty hiring" among their top concerns, eclipsing inflation and interest rates.

By advancing education, we can develop our workforce and invest in our economy. #txed #txlege

This is the workforce session, and the teacher workforce is one of the most important factors to Texas student success.

Supporting teachers and advancing teacher education develops our workforce and strengthens our economy.

In her 2023 Texas Economic Outlook, @DallasFed economist @piaorrenius asks "What can we do to promote educational attainment? We can't rely on migration [for skilled labor] because it may begin to taper." We must invest in #txed and #txcommunitycolleges https://t.co/p6xrQ1H3o0
