Where the Marketplace closes the loop.
Eight Texas regions with anchor-scale demand matched to nearest credential-producing training partners. Rated by coverage. This is the narrative the CTO Challenge submission depends on.
Texas has P-TECH. We scale it.
Texas operates approximately two hundred Pathways in Technology Early College High School campuses today: a triad of a school district, a community college, and a named industry employer, delivering a diploma, an associate's degree, an industry-recognized credential, and a paid internship across grades nine through fourteen. The product roadmap is the same pattern, applied to the new roles Texas's anchor employers are hiring for right now.
Three layers, one marketplace.
Filtered to Texas for this demonstration. In production, every query across the state unions these three surfaces in milliseconds.
Texas is the only state with anchor-scale employer demand across all five DOE priority industries.
This demonstration supports a Tri-Agency submission convened by the Governor's office. BOMForge proposes as the employer-intelligence technology partner, alongside Credential Engine (incumbent behind the 16,000-credential Texas Credential Library) and the existing Tri-Agency workforce infrastructure. Below is the competition timeline. The Pre-Phase submission window closes in ten days.
