Work-Based Learning works best when schools and industry partners plan together. That is why the connection between RGV LEAD and the Rio Grande Valley Builders Association matters.

Thank you for all you all do for our community and we are looking forward to the exciting projects we will work on together for the benefit of our regional communities.

A strong workforce does not begin on the first day of a job. It begins much earlier, when students can see what is possible, understand what employers need, and practice real skills in settings connected to their future careers.

Water problems rarely begin with an empty reservoir. They often begin earlier, when farmers, utilities, builders, industries, households, and public agencies are working from different facts, different timelines, and different fears.

We are working with our Regional Member Districts in aligning our regional students into workforce pipelines.

We are excited to reconnect with HCISD students, educators, and leadership through meaningful college, career, and workforce readiness opportunities. T

This Labor Day, we commemorate our board leadership, team, school district leaders, and industry partners who work relentlessly to connect education with workforce opportunity.

We are excited to be invited and celebrate women in construction.
