Tyler ISD juniors and seniors enrolled in career and technology classes got to hear from a professional about their career path this week.
Business professionals from numerous jobs around the community were paired with the students that aligned with their career choices. The professionals were offering the students a first-hand look at what their career pathway would look like and practical advice for entering the workforce.
One of those was Habitat for Humanity that had students excited about joining them in the near future.
"They're helping people who need it like single mothers, families who can't afford homes or repairs in their homes, because i came from a family like that also so that kind of stuck out to me the most," Tyler Legacy High School student Sergio Contreras said.
This is the sixth year for the event at Tyler ISD. Teachers are excited to see each year it grows and the students seem to enjoy it more each year.
