Investing in the People Who Power Texas Hospitality Texas hospitality is more than an industry&mdash;it is an economic engine, a first job, a career path, and a source of opportunity in communities across our state. Its future depends on having a strong, skilled workforce ready to grow with it.The Texas Restaurant Foundation connects people to that opportunity. We help students discover careers they may not have known existed, give educators the tools and industry connections to prepare them, equip job seekers with skills and credentials that lead to employment, and help restaurant communities recover when disaster threatens businesses and livelihoods. Through Texas ProStart, educator development, student competitions, industry-recognized credentials, scholarships, Second Chances, community-based workforce partnerships, and disaster relief, TRF is building a stronger talent pipeline from the classroom to the workplace&mdash;and creating new pathways into hospitality for Texans at every stage of life. An investment in the Texas Restaurant Foundation is an investment in people, opportunity, and the future of Texas hospitality.
