From High School to a Job
SEDCOR Construction Alliance Works with Dallas High School to Identify Career Paths
by Jolene Guzman – The Itemizer-Observer
DALLAS — Not all high school graduates are going to go to a four-year college. But that doesn’t mean that those graduates can’t find meaningful, living wage jobs out of high school.
A partnership between the Dallas School District and the Strategic Economic Development Corporation’s (SEDCOR) Construction Alliance aims to illuminate career opportunities requiring little post-high school training.
Once a week since mid-March, alliance members — local contractors and construction professionals — have led students in Tim Ray’s advanced wood shop class through projects to help improve their shop facilities and the facades of two downtown Dallas buildings.
