Career and Education Outreach Pilot Program
Northeast Texas is excited to announce a new opportunity for Bloomburg ISD students in the upcoming school year. The Career and Education Outreach program will complement the career and post-secondary education guidance currently taking place in the school. A staff member from Workforce Solutions Northeast Texas, the Workforce Specialist, will spend time on campus working directly with students. The Workforce Specialist will connect middle and high school students and parents with information on career opportunities and education requirements for high growth, high demand occupations. This information is tailored in content, format, and delivery based on the students’ grade level.
The Workforce Specialist will deliver information to students and parents in a number of ways, including:
• Group presentations
• Individual one-on-one discussions
• Flyers, brochures, and other printed materials
• Electronic communication such as a mobile app, websites, and videos.
Some of this information will be general in scope, while other pieces will be specific to the student’s career and education interests. This information will include:
• Demand occupations
• Occupational wage rates
• Internship/apprenticeship opportunities
• Post-secondary training programs, including costs and payment options
• Interviewing, resume writing, and job search tips and tools.
Each Workforce Specialist is assigned five school districts in the Northeast Texas workforce development area. The specialist will rotate locations, splitting time evenly among the five school districts. A schedule, which includes office hours and structured meeting times for each location will be provided to students.
Workforce Specialist Jenna Beth Kullenberg is proud to be working with the counselors, administrators, parents, and students of Bloomburg ISD. This program is a partnership between Bloomburg ISD and Workforce Solutions Northeast Texas. The Career and Education specialist program is intended to be an additional resource for students as they begin to make decisions about education, training, and careers after high school.
