德州州长格雷格·阿博特10月13日宣布，通过德州劳动力委员会（TWC）管理的"职业培训拨款计划"（Career Training Grants Program），再拨出近400万美元职业与技术教育（CTE）拨款，资金来自美国教育部珀金斯州领导力（Perkins State Leadership）经费；至此珀金斯州领导力拨款总额度达到1000万美元，旨在提升德州劳动力技能。
阿博特说："德州的年轻人是我们的未来，我们必须确保他们为明天的工作做好准备。随着近400万美元新的职业培训拨款到位，更多德州学生将有机会在高需求职业领域获得实操经验和培训。我们感谢美国教育部的合作以及德州劳动力委员会的领导，使德州成为劳动力发展的领跑者。"
新一轮拨款整合了原"珀金斯田野创新计划"与"珀金斯州领导力拨款"，面向符合珀金斯资格的机构开放，申请期为2026年10月15日至11月16日。据州长办公室数据，阿博特任内自2015年以来，德州已在劳动力培训项目上投入超过11亿美元。
Governor Abbott Announces Nearly $4 Million in Career and Technical Education Grants
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on October 13 nearly $4 million in career and technical education (CTE) grants through the Career Training Grants Program, administered by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and funded with U.S. Department of Education Perkins State Leadership money. The new funding brings total Perkins State Leadership Grant availability to $10 million. "Our young Texans are our future, and we must ensure they are prepared to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow," Abbott said. The expanded Perkins Leadership Grants replace the former Field Based Innovation Program and are open to Perkins-eligible entities from October 15 through November 16, 2026. Under Abbott, more than $1.1 billion has been invested in workforce training programs since 2015.
