Summary
The Jobs and Education for Texans (JET) grant program defrays start-up costs associated with the development of career and technical education programs to public community and technical colleges, and independent school districts. Formerly under the direction of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, oversight of the state-funded program is now coordinated by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).
