The Texas Department of Transportation's On-The-Job Training and Supportive Services program is named the Texas Construction Career Academy (TCCA). The TCCA provides industry-specific training in technical, safety and basic job skills necessary for entry-level positions in the construction industry. Since its beginning in 2009, the TCCA has provided training to unemployed women, minorities and disadvantaged individuals seeking careers in highway transportation. The program is currently administered by the University of Texas at Arlington and Prairie View A&M University. The providers are responsible for participant recruitment, screening, selection, training delivery, job placement and participant follow up.
