TEXO Foundation

Not only are we building the next generation, we're hiring them too! Thank you to the Grove Media Services team, comprised of students in the Digital Communications program of study at Walnut Grove High School in Prosper ISD, who partnered with TEXO Foundation to create videos promoting careers in the construction industry featuring their peers in the school's CTE program and footage from our 2024 Build Texas Proud Expo. ?? These videos will be shown in classrooms across the region by our Youth Outreach team as we continue our mission to educate, recruit, train, and retain the next generation of construction professionals. If you're interested in working with the students of the Grove Media Services team, contact us at [email protected] and we'll get you connected! #buildtexasproud #cte #youthoutreach
