Bexar County Skills Development Program

Bexar County Skills Development Program

Funds Bexar County companies expanding targeted-industry jobs through workforce training grants.

Eligibility · Bexar County, Texas

Bexar County Economic and Community Development administers the Skills Development Program as a local grant program for targeted-industry companies that are locating or expanding in Bexar County, Texas. It sits inside the county's economic development incentive programs and provides grant funding for tailored training so current and new employees have the skills a company's industry requires.

The award is formula-based: a company may receive up to USD 1,000 for each net new Targeted Occupation Position created, with a maximum award of USD 250,000. Awards are paid on an annual basis as those positions are filled, and the positions must be filled within two years of grant execution to receive the full award. The source does not state a total pool, minimum award, scoring rubric, or fixed application close date.

Eligibility is company-focused. The applicant must be an established company in a targeted industry, must plan to locate or expand in Bexar County, and must create at least 20 net new Targeted Occupation Positions, with 50 percent filled by Bexar County residents. The live page also requires wage floors, affordable health insurance for full-time employees and dependents within one year of hiring, and participation in at least one SA Works experiential learning opportunity.

The county page lists a Skills Development Fund Application and an email route to the Economic Development team, but the scraped text does not expose a direct public apply URL or email address. Treat this as a rolling local incentive: confirm current county staff requirements, wage thresholds, and application file before budgeting around the grant.
