Cosmetology was among the 18 district career and technical education programs represented at the fair.
“CFISD is the largest district in the state of Texas offering a full range of CTE courses to every high school student, regardless of which campus they attend,” said Denise Kubecka, CTE director. “Events such as the Career Options Fair allow us to showcase the multitude of options available to students to get a jumpstart on their career while still in high school.”
In addition to learning of the different programs, fair patrons had the opportunity to speak with various trade and technical schools, as well as companies and other possible career opportunities that were in attendance. Kubecka said coupling the fair just weeks after CFISD’s annual College Night is an opportunity to give students information on a vast array of options available to them after graduation.
