WHEREAS, Through its Corporate Work Study Program, San Juan |
|
|
Diego Catholic High School in Austin is preparing many young Texans |
|
|
for the challenges and opportunities of the future; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The CWSP allows highly motivated students to gain |
|
|
real world employment experience while subsidizing the cost of |
|
|
their education, and it exposes these youth to a variety of |
|
|
disciplines, including health care, technology, law, and real |
|
|
estate; before they are placed in positions within the sponsoring |
|
|
organizations, the participants take an intensive summer training |
|
|
course, in which they learn the importance of teamwork, |
|
|
responsibility, communication, and professional etiquette, as well |
|
|
as general clerical skills; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During the school year, each student in the CWSP |
|
|
works five days per month and shares a full-time, entry-level |
|
|
position with three other classmates; the CWSP staff coordinate the |
|
|
students' schedules, and they also maintain contact with the |
|
|
employers to review student performance and ensure the overall |
|
|
effectiveness of the program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An integral part of the college preparatory |
|
|
education at San Juan Diego Catholic High School, the Corporate |
|
|
Work Study Program teaches its students valuable life lessons, and |
|
|
it helps them develop the confidence to pursue their goals and |
|
|
realize their full potential; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor San Juan Diego Catholic High School and |
|
|
extend to all those involved in its Corporate Work Study Program |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for San Juan Diego Catholic High School as an expression of |
|
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
