TSTC to present career fair for students seeking technical jobs

Dallas - Councilmember Dwaine R. Caraway and Texas State Technical College (TSTC) will host a free career fair featuring hands-on activities, advanced technology exhibits and financial aid and admissions representatives. The event, "Bridging Technology and Education," will be held in Exhibit Hall A of the Dallas Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday Aug. 9.

"I look forward to working with TSTC and introducing their institution to the people of Dallas," Caraway said. Last year, Caraway took a group of students to TSTC in Waco to give them a firsthand look at what the college has to offer. After that successful trip, he decided to find a way to bring that experience to Dallas.

"I wanted to help more students plan for their future and encourage their parents to participate as well," Caraway said. "Our hope is that this event will help keep students off the street and show them they have options when they graduate from high school," he said.

"TSTC will bring hands-on exhibits and even offer classes to help students prepare for college and the workforce," said TSTC Representative Marcus Balch. "We look forward to bringing Dallas a glimpse of what TSTC has to offer."
