What we do

We connect classrooms with careers

Each month, the committee brings educators and employers together to share what's happening in our schools and workplaces, spot opportunities to partner, and plan programs that prepare students for real jobs right here at home.

Our signature event
YOUTH
CareerQuest

Planned and hosted by the BEP Committee, Youth CareerQuest brings 8th graders from across New Braunfels and Comal County face to face with local employers through hands-on career exploration, right before they choose their high school programs of study.




Teacher of the Year Luncheon
Each year the committee also hosts the Teacher of the Year Luncheon, celebrating outstanding local educators. This year's luncheon has already taken place. Watch for next year's date.
