The Texas IAF succeeded this session in placing the Texas Innovative Adult Career Education (ACE) Fund under the auspices of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) which oversees reform and improvement of graduation rates in Texas community college systems.

Alignment with THECB student success initiatives is a recognition of IAF 20+ year history and success in achieving high community college graduation rates and securing living wage and middle class careers for our graduates.

We believe that this alignment will result in a large increase of state funding for our five workforce development programs in future legislative sessions.
