The Coastal Bend Industry Association (CBIA) partnered with Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend to provide a look inside local industry to over 120 participants in the 2022 Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU) Learn! Educator Externship Program. This annual program is a one-week immersion experience aimed at helping local educators recognize and connect students with local workforce opportunities based on skills and interest.
CBIA members provided a wide range of presenters from Plant Managers, HR Managers, and Operators to Engineers, Interns, and Safety & Environmental Representatives. Participants learned about our facilities, career opportunities, on-the-job training and day-to-day roles and responsibilities. The week also included tours of the Refinery Terminal Fire Company (RTFC), Port of Corpus Christi, and Gulf Coast Growth Ventures.
