The Rural Capital Area Workforce Development Board (RCAWDB) is responsible for the design and implementation of the workforce center system in the nine county area surrounding Travis County.  These counties are:  Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Llano and Williamson.  The RCAWDB contracts with Arbor E&T to manage and oversee the direct operations of the centers in these nine counties.

In Texas and Florida, two of the nation's most aggressive states in overhauling their welfare systems, Arbor E&T is the largest provider of job training, placement and retention services to welfare recipients, dislocated workers and disadvantaged youth participating in federal Workforce Investment Act programs. Arbor E&T projects in the two states ranked first in federally-established participation rates. Over the past four years, Arbor E&T has found jobs for more than 150,000 welfare recipients and others striving for self-sufficiency.
