There is no shortage of student talent in HISD. However, opportunities to develop and nurture that talent can be limited. That's where you come in. Work with us to create or implement your D&I program and give HISD student talent a place to grow. Start now!
HISD students are the future of the global workforce: multilingual, first-generation, digital native, data-savvy, and self-advocates. They are potential engineers tinkering, green thumbs growing gardens, and artists honing performances. They are resilient, having lived and achieved through unimaginable challenges. They know how to work together to solve big problems.
Early and frequent exposure to the work you do will help these young people prepare for business challenges, build industry-level skills and learn more about their career options at your company.
Take your commitment to diversity & inclusion to the next level with an investment in your future workforce.
Let us help actively build diverse career pipelines that support your D & I goals.
