Received this email from Linda Medina. I know there are lots of you out there who could expose a high school student to a career they might have never considered. This is a great opportunity to inspire Austin young people.
Dear Friends,
I hope this email finds you well. Volunteers are needed to participate in the Travis High School “Real World Connections” Speaker Series on Friday, March 27th at 11:30 a.m. The time commitment for the event will likely be no more than 90 minutes. We would very much appreciate if you could serve as a special guest or help recruit speakers in Media, Engineering & Technology fields.
To prepare for the 21st Century, students need real-world experiences. They need to hear first-hand from professionals about the skills that are needed to succeed in different career fields. Most importantly, students need to understand the incremental steps it takes to prepare for careers. This luncheon will provide students with a great opportunity to learn about Media, Engineering & Technology careers and what it takes to succeed in that field.
