TWC Launches TexasInternNetwork.com to Connect Employers and Students

Press Releases April 6, 2026 AUSTIN – The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) today announced the launch of the new and improved TexasInternNetwork.com. This free, modernized platform is Texas’ one-stop shop for internships. With a faster, simplified registration process and improved search features, the site is ready to help solve staffing needs and jumpstart students’ careers for the summer internship season.

“For Texas employers, the Texas Intern Network opens a direct pipeline to motivated students who are seeking meaningful careers with upward mobility,” said TWC Chairman Joe Esparza. “This new website is a powerful tool for employers to recruit and train their future workforce with the workforce readiness and technical skills that will boost their business and drive their bottom line.”

TexasInternNetwork.com also offers new, AI-powered tools to prepare students for every stage of the hiring process. These tools offer resume and cover letter assistance and interview coaching opportunities. To prepare for the hiring process, students can refine their interview skills through AI feedback, expert-led video lessons, practice scenarios, and a realistic interview simulator.

“Texas Intern Network connects students with paid internships that allow them to develop essential skills, explore diverse career paths, and ultimately contribute to a stronger, more competitive Texas economy,” said TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Alberto Treviño III. “Paid internships ensure opportunities are available to all students, regardless of their economic background, and are an investment in the future of our Texas workforce.”

The new site marks a significant step in the statewide Texas Intern Network campaign. This is a collaborative effort to promote paid internships in Texas. It involves all three Tri-Agency partners (TWC, the Texas Education Agency, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board).

“The Texas Intern Network is an innovative tool that connects our state’s next generation of workers with employers, fostering a pipeline of skilled employees who are ready to meet the evolving needs of Texas industries,” said TWC Commissioner Representing the Public Brent Connett. “This is one of many ways TWC is helping to cultivate the talent necessary to keep our economy competitive and ensure Texas remains the nation’s jobs leader.”

TexasInternNetwork.com connects interns and Texas employers across the state through virtual and in-person Conference Series events, as well as a digital LinkedIn networking platform. These conferences provide interns with valuable networking opportunities and resources for career advancement. The next will be on April 23 at Austin Community College’s Highland Campus. This event coincides with National Internship Awareness Month, which is recognized every April.

Students and employers are encouraged to visit TexasInternNetwork.com to start connecting today.
