Mexia ISD engaging students for future careers
Sat, 09/03/2022 - 12:00am
A few years ago, Mexia ISD administrators were happy to have 38 students traveling to Waco daily for career training – 19 for healthcare instruction, and another 19 for construction training. When the administration realized the district could enroll more students by hiring teachers in Mexia to conduct the same training, they did so and are thrilled with the increase in students: 83 students are signed up for welding and 87 are signed up for healthcare training. These students are now learning skills and getting training that will help them capture well-paying jobs even right after graduation.
