Texas Workforce Training Provider Performance and Completion Metrics

Texas data on the performance of state-approved job training providers eligible for federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding. The dataset includes metrics on student enrollment, program completion, and credential attainment for training programs across the state. It is published by the Texas Workforce Commission and was last updated in February 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between 'All Students Successfully Completed Program' and 'Provider Name' to rank training providers by completion rate.
• Model the 'Percent Received Credential' based on 'Program Name' and 'County' to identify geographic or program-type factors influencing credential attainment.
• Compare 'All Student Exiters' against 'All Students' to calculate overall program attrition rates for specific providers.
• Cluster 'Provider Name' entities using performance metrics like 'All Students Percent Successfully Completed' and 'Received Credential' for provider segmentation.

Strengths

• Performance metrics cover a multi-year period, with specific columns referencing data from 2020 to 2024.
• Includes key outcome measures like completion percentages and credential receipt at the provider and program level.

Limitations

• The exact number of rows (providers/programs) and total student records is unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data structure, null values, or value distributions before download.
