ConnectU2Jobs Program

This program would not be successful without community, education, and employer partners. Together, we can provide the necessary services so that trainees can get the most out of this program. Our goal is to graduate all participants into employment, and beyond that, to help them create a life-long career in the highway construction industry.
If interested in joining our current partners, please submit a letter of commitment to TxDOT Civil Rights at the address below or email to ConnectU2Jobs@txdot.gov.
