Future Workforce
Where We Stand on Future Workforce
Our public schools are educating Texas’ future workforce. As Texas strives to keep pace with 21st-century workforce demands, Raise Your Hand Texas believes our public schools are indispensable for creating a highly skilled workforce capable of meeting tomorrow’s challenges.
Every student is different, and our economy and workforce needs are diverse. That’s why Raise Your Hand Texas supports pathways that ensure every student is on track for college, career, or military readiness after high school.
A well-rounded education with opportunities for students to explore their interests and try new learning experiences is imperative to ensuring our economy stays strong.
From strong core classes to electives and extracurricular activities to career and technical education, our students need resources and opportunities to discover their passion and forge a pathway for their future. Abundant choice can be found in today’s public schools, but the state must invest to ensure our public schools can best provide students with an education that prepares them for future jobs.
