Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area’s Career Coaches partnered with Texas State University in Round Rock, Texas to host over 300 high school students from several local districts to learn more about various career and educational opportunities specific to the healthcare industry. Students rotated through sessions on interview and resume skills, as well as various career pathways within the healthcare field. Texas State professors and grad students also hosted these high school students in their simulation labs and presented information on their communication disorders program, health information management systems, and respiratory therapy program. Several industry professionals and higher education institutions volunteered to participate in a Networking opportunity for students as well. Through collaboration between industry, higher education, and local CTE programs, our goal is to build a robust pipeline of healthcare professionals.
