Finding Your Career Path

Rodriguez Middle School has partnered with UNT's High School Career Connect to help students establish a path to postsecondary education and a successful career.
This site is designed to keep students informed of HSCC's work at Rodriguez Middle School.
The University of North Texas and the Greater Texas Foundation established High School Career Connect to provide career advice, postsecondary planning, and workforce trends to help prepare students for life beyond high school.
Primarily through one‑on‑one peer mentors, HSCC maps the primary high school‑to‑career paths: jobs, certificates, and college degrees. HSCC then helps formulate career strategies based on a student’s skills and interests.
As a result, students possess individualized career paths for postsecondary education, helping them graduate with enhanced skillsets and increased employment potential.
