The following are the program objectives in administering the
TIRA fund:
(1) To ensure that funds from the program are spent
in workforce areas that are impacted by hurricanes and other natural
disasters and to respond to immediate workforce needs and overall
workforce shortages;
(2) To encourage the private sector to develop specialized
apprenticeships in Texas;
(3) To develop projects that, at completion of the
training, will result in wages equal to or greater than the mid-level
status of the apprenticeable occupation related to that TIRA; and
(4) To promote advancing participant skills, at a minimum,
to obtaining an industry credential in the related field of the TIRA.
