District expands workforce pipeline

BASTROP ISD

BASTROP — Bastrop officials are working to see local students match the city’s accelerated pace of development and grow along with it — connecting them to high-paying, in-demand jobs close to home.

Through a collaboration between Bastrop Independent School District, the Bastrop Economic Development Corporation and local employers, area programs are preparing the city’s young learners for careers in advanced manufacturing, health care and skilled trades.
