In partnership with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the Texas Workforce Commission has dedicated $1 million in apprenticeship grant funding to strengthen the state’s healthcare system. This investment supports the Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) Program, which provides essential care to communities across Texas.
Through this initiative, $500,000 will be available in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, as appropriated by the 89th Texas Legislature and approved by Governor Greg Abbott in Senate Bill 1, to support the creation or expansion of health care apprenticeship programs. Grants will cover the costs of training and development for staff, so facilities can address staffing shortages while providing high-quality patient care.
