MyTXCareer.com Helps Texans Find Jobs, Return to Work

Texas Workforce Commission • January 19, 2021

Streamlined Jobs Website Provides Quick Access to More Than 500,000 job postings

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) has launched MyTxCareer.com, a new online job search site designed to help Texans quickly register, search for, and apply for jobs available right now in Texas. There are currently more than 500,000 job postings available posted by more than 20,000 employers.

 

“MyTxCareer.com is another valuable resource from TWC to help Texans find the jobs they need to get back into the workforce,” said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. “At TWC we remain focused on connecting workers with employers quickly and efficiently.” 

 

MyTxCareer.com provides job seekers a streamlined way to register for WorkInTexas.com, the state’s online job-matching website. This new site is ideal for new users who just need to get back to work and may not need other services or programs offered by the Texas Workforce system. The sites, which are connected, offer access to the same employers and job postings. MyTxCareer.com offers a simpler registration and layout. Users who already have a WorkInTexas.com login should use that to login to MyTxCareer.com. Employers will continue to post jobs on WorkInTexas.com. 


“We created MyTxCareer.com for Texans looking to get hired quickly, but we still have the advanced job-matching and career enhancing resources available for those people who want them,” said Commissioner Representing Labor Julian Alvarez.


Job searches on MyTxCareer.com or WorkInTexas.com will satisfy the work search requirement for continued unemployment benefits, but persons receiving benefits can also use any private site, or alternatively may complete any of the activities listed at the following site: https://twc.texas.gov/jobseekers/work-search-requirements-unemployment-benefits#acceptableWorkSearchActivities


“Texas continues to remain open for business and our Texas employers are actively seeking qualified applicants,” said Commissioner Representing Employers Aaron Demerson. “MyTxCareer.com is a helpful website that will match our Texas employers with the highly skilled workers needed to fill the over 500,000 open and available job positions in Texas.”

Building Connections, Strengthening Child Care

July 20, 2026
Workforce Solutions East Texas Child Care Services is proud to partner with the Panola County Chamber of Commerce to support child care leaders across the region. Through this partnership, the Chamber provides a welcoming meeting space for Directors Connect training designed to help early learning program owners and directors connect, learn, and grow together. The partnership was made possible through the support of Keri Perot-Vance, Executive Director of the Panola County Chamber of Commerce, whose commitment to community collaboration helped create a space where child care leaders can come together to share ideas, discuss challenges, and strengthen their leadership skills. The partnership began in 2025 in response to daycare owners expressing a need for accessible training opportunities. Recognizing this need, Panola County Chamber of Commerce graciously offered to host the Directors Connect training in its beautiful historic building. This collaboration provides child care professionals with the opportunity to earn professional development hours required to remain in compliance with Child Care Regulation and Texas Rising Star. Tonia Crawford and Aerial Jones, Business Industry Specialists for Child Care Services and facilitators of Directors Connect, say the program has evolved into so much more than a training opportunity. It has become a space for meaningful conversations, professional connections, and shared solutions. Through these gatherings, directors are strengthening their businesses, growing as leaders, and ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to children and families throughout East Texas. Workforce Solutions East Texas Child Care Services is grateful for the Panola County Chamber of Commerce's ongoing support and looks forward to continuing this impactful partnership for years to come. Together, we are investing in stronger leaders, stronger child care programs, and stronger communities.
