The Houston Independent School District recently hosted students and their families from across the city at the 11th annual “When I Grow Up” career expo, a free event aimed at introducing attendees to new, in-demand careers in Houston.
The goal of the event, which was sponsored by the HISD College and Career Readiness Department, was for participants to be inspired by over 100 exhibitors from regional companies and organizations demonstrating the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in high-demand, high-growth industries.
Elementary through high school students attended the event and were able to participate in interactive demonstrations led by industry leaders and visit other exhibitions.
