The future of Texas depends on the workforce we are building today.
That is why EOAC is proud to serve as a sponsor of The Future of the Texas Workforce, a daylong symposium co-hosted by The Texas Tribune and The Waco Bridge. This important event will bring together business, education, nonprofit, and civic leaders to discuss how Texas can prepare today’s students and workers for tomorrow’s economy.
We invite our partners, employers, educators, and community members to join us for this important conversation.

Why EOAC Is Involved
At EOAC, we know that building a strong workforce begins long before someone applies for their first job.
It starts with children receiving a strong educational foundation. It continues by supporting families as they work toward stability. And it grows through access to education, job training, career development, and opportunities that help individuals reach their full potential.
Through programs like Head Start, EmpowerU, and our family support services, EOAC works every day to help individuals overcome barriers, develop new skills, and move toward long-term self-sufficiency.
Workforce development is not just about filling jobs. It is about creating pathways to opportunity that strengthen families, businesses, and communities.
A Conversation That Matters
Texas continues to experience rapid growth, and the jobs our state will need over the next decade are already beginning to take shape.
This symposium will explore questions that affect every community:
- How can education better prepare students for tomorrow’s careers?
- What workforce skills will employers need most?
- How can businesses, schools, nonprofits, and government work together?
- What investments are needed today to build tomorrow’s workforce?
These conversations align closely with EOAC’s mission of moving families forward!
