❖New Frontiers JobCon

❖TVC Hiring Event

SOCORRO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT CAREER & JOB EXPOOn January 30th Workforce Solutions Borderplex hosted a special Career & Job Expo for high school students in the Socorro Independent School District. The event was free and open strictly to SISD Sophomores, Juniors, & Seniors. SISD students spent the afternoon learning about skill requirements and qualifications for future jobs and careers. As state leaders turn their focus towards developing a workforce capable of meeting their state’s job needs over the next few decades, the connection from high school education to workforce development is quickly taking center stage. Sue Ellspermann, with Workforce Development in Indiana indicated that organizations, such as hers and WSB, are not asking high schoolers to decide their entire life’s course but help them explore their options earlier on.
