As students head back to the classroom, Weslaco EDC is looking ahead to something bigger: the future workforce of our community.

A strong economy doesn't begin when someone enters the workforce. It begins years earlier through education, skills development, career exploration, and partnerships that help students prepare for future opportunities.

Today's students are tomorrow's workforce, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Investing in them is an investment in Weslaco's future.
