Infographic of the Week: Higher Education

By: Ryan Tharp, Director of Research & Economic Development

In order to be successful in the workforce, it’s important to have the skills and education to meet the changing industry needs. North Texas offers more than 30 higher education options; including public and private universities, community colleges, and trade schools.

The State Legislature selected eight institutions to expand current research programs striving to achieve the distinguished “Tier One” research institution title. Three of the eight are housed in North Texas. “Tier One” institutions are nationally recognized for the highest levels of innovations and academic excellence. The North Texas institutions selected include the University of North Texas, the University of Texas at Dallas, and the University of Texas at Arlington. 

Texas also offers incentives, such as the Skills Development Fund, to help businesses and colleges collaborate on workforce education. Institutions administer the grant through creating curriculum centered around improving the skills of current employees at participating businesses, while creating new job opportunities for the region. Companies in North Texas partner with local colleges that offer this curriculum to fulfill training gaps.

A wide selection of educational programs, among dozens of higher education institutions in North Texas, provides an invaluable resource that creates and serves a talented and skilled workforce.
