Workforce Solutions Northeast Texas hosted three Future Forward events on February 7, 8, 9. Future Forward is designed to assist high school seniors as they move towards graduation and along their career path. The events included a panel of local employers at each location, discussing hiring practices, current job openings, and tips for career advancement. Students also participated in several breakout sessions on several topics, including communication, community college admissions, social media best practices, and interviewing. Each day closed with a dynamic presentation from one of America’s best youth speakers, Ted Wiese, on leadership development and positive attitudes. More than 250 students from 17 school districts attended the events. Thank you to our presenters from local employers, community colleges, Workforce Solutions staff, and Ted.
