“We look forward to hosting this event and providing students in our community with new employment opportunities to further enhance their careers in the Texas workforce. Internships are key to students’ success in their careers. When given the opportunity to learn and build relationships with employers, it is beneficial for students’ professional careers,” Brownsville Mayor Trey Mendez said.
The conference will feature former interns and guest speakers from Texas employers, motivational career coaching to create networking opportunities for employers to meet the future of the Texas workforce. The aim is to connect students with career development opportunities.
The event is hosted by the Texas Interns Unite initiative, a digital platform that provides students with the opportunity to network, further enhance their careers and gain hands-on experience. Employers and interns looking to connect can join Texas Interns Unite! on LinkedIn for updates, new events, and possible internship opportunities.
