ROBSTOWN, Texas \u2014 More than 2,500 Coastal Bend students stepped away from the classroom to explore future career paths at Texas Workforce Solutions’ You Choose Career Expo in Robstown.<\/p>\n
Students met face to face with more than 120 local employers and got hands-on experience in fields including healthcare, public service, and media.<\/p>\n
Harold C. Branch Academy student Luka Pollack said the event gave him a chance to connect with professionals across multiple industries.<\/p>\n
“It’s been great. I’ve been able to meet and interact with a lot of people, spoken to a lot of first responders, both in Corpus Christi and out of Corpus Christi. That includes RTFC at the refinery, Robstown Fire, of course, and I think it’s been a great chance for me to learn and talk about what it’s like to be on the job,” Pollack said.<\/p>\n
King High School student Mya Johnson said the expo is helping her move closer to her goals in media and entertainment.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s helping me get a bigger step to my career path, and like, yeah, I do wanna be for a newscast or even like a TV show, a reality TV show,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n
Organizers hope the event helps young people connect to real opportunities in the region.<\/p>\n
