About Skillpoint Skillpoint Alliance is a nonprofit workforce development organization that helps people discover and enter careers in the skilled trades through fast, free, hands-on training in electrical, plumbing/HVAC, and manufacturing. Working closely with employers and community partners, we identify and prepare individuals with the technical skills, credentials, and professional readiness needed for career success. Founded in Austin, Skillpoint has grown to serve communities in Austin, the Permian Basin, and New Braunfels, with expansion into San Antonio underway. Our vision is to bring the Skillpoint model to major markets across Texas over the next five years, dramatically increasing the number of people and communities we serve. Working at Skillpoint Skillpoint is not a traditional nonprofit. While we are deeply committed to our mission, we approach our work with the mindset of a growing organization. We are always looking for ways to improve, expand our impact, and better serve our communities. That means we want our team members not only to do their jobs well, but also to contribute ideas, improve how we work, and help shape the future of Skillpoint. Skillpoint is a unique and special place to work. Our mission brings people together around work that matters, and our culture reflects a shared commitment to doing that work well. Our employees enjoy working together, learning from one another, communicating openly, and taking pride not only in their individual contributions, but also in what we are building together. As Skillpoint grows, we want our employees to grow with us, whether by deepening their expertise, taking on new responsibilities, or pursuing new opportunities within the organization. We are intentional about the people we invite to join our team because every person helps shape the organization we are becoming. Our goal is to preserve what makes Skillpoint special while continuing to grow our impact and the opportunities we create for the people and communities we serve.
