ConnectU2Jobs Program
Civil Rights programs
ConnectU2Jobs (CU2J) is a joint effort between FHWA's Highway Construction Workforce program and the TxDOT Civil Rights Division created to fill a need for a skilled highway construction workforce in Texas.
Heavy highway skills will always be essential. This industry offers job security, above-average wages, and a career ladder for those willing to put in the work.
Program Locations
There are two program locations for CU2J: Brazos County and Dallas. Each of these programs has a different focus and is conducted with different partners. Please visit each location's page for more information.
Community and employer partners
To ensure success, CU2J includes a variety of partners, such as community organizations, education agencies, and industry employers. Let us know if you're interested in becoming a partner, too.
