Joe Martin - The Seguin Gazette
The halls of the Seguin Coliseum were filled with the sounds of bustling business owners and local educators Monday evening as the first-ever Career and Technical Education Showcase took place.
The showcase was the result of a joint effort between Seguin ISD, Marion ISD, Navarro ISD and the Seguin Chamber of Commerce, which kicked off with an open floor for attendees to visit with representatives of each school district who had tables showcasing their programs.
The booths varied in Career and Technical Education programs geared toward teaching students skills in various fields including health science, graphic design and welding inside the classroom.
“We wanted to give the schools an opportunity to respond to the conversations we’ve had over the last three years with the industry saying ‘We really need you to be working on these skills,’” Seguin Chamber of Commerce President Kendy Gravett said. “The schools have responded, and they have been changing their approach on how they teach, and now they’re building these partnerships. So our number one purpose here today is to build a pipeline of skilled workers for the positions that are here locally.”
