Information on Careers/Apprenticeships
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is currently promoting Correctional Officer and non-correctional job opportunities. Many of our positions only require a high school education, making this an excellent opportunity for high school graduates. We also have part-time employment and work with college student’s schedules to afford them the opportunity to work while in college. If you have any questions, please contact the Employment Section at (936) 437-4098 or (936) 437-4087 or by email at elizabeth.mccoy@tdcj.texas.gov. https://www.tdcj.texas.gov/ks_career.html
