TEMPLE, Texas — Students in the Temple High School Career and Technical Education (CTE) program had the opportunity to put their best foot forward during the program’s “Ready to Work” hiring event on Thursday (April 28).

Approximately 350 to 400 seniors participated in the event that also featured almost 40 different businesses or government entities looking to hire workers for a variety of positions. Several of those companies or agencies had multiple departments on hand. In addition to the chance to pass out resumes and make face-to-face contact with potential employers, there were also multiple companies doing interviews on the spot Thursday, making the event a unique opportunity for the students to get a big head start on their job searches.
