PUBLIC WORKS RELATED INTERNSHIPS

 

Dear Colleague:

 

Remember when you were a student looking for a career-related summer job or your first job? If you were like me, you probably had trouble finding a job because you had no experience and you couldn’t get experience without that job!   Perhaps you are looking for experienced technical workers now and are wondering where all the qualified and experienced workers have gone.

 

Central Texas TPWA is asking you to do your part in stopping that cycle. It’s simple!

 

1. Write a brief job description, including job location, desired qualifications, length of work term, contact name, email and phone number, etc.

 

2. Email the description to Jason Watts at jwatts@agileassets.com

 

3. Interview the candidates who apply for your position.

 

Central Texas TPWA will place your ad with college career centers throughout Texas or just the schools you indicate. Come On!    Do something good for a deserving student, for our industry and for your organization!   We have even included a simple application form to help you get started.

 

Thank you for your help in getting this initiative off the ground.

 

Sincerely,

Central Texas TPWA Internship Committee

Jason Watts, Chair

 

 

 

CENTRAL TEXAS BRANCH GOLF TOURNAMENT

 

The Central Texas Branch is proud to announce the Fourth Annual Central Texas Golf Tournament benefiting the Scholarship Program. The Tournament will be held at the Crystal Falls Golf Club in Leander on, Friday, October 10, 2008.

All proceeds from this Golf Tournament will be used to support the Central Texas Branch’s Scholarship Fund. We are hopeful to bring the possibility of assisting in covering some of the ever increasing costs of higher education to college bound students that are interested in Public Works careers and Public Works employees.

The Tournament will have an 8:00 am shotgun start and participants can sign in between 7:00 am and 8:00 am on that morning. A lunch will be provided as well as cold beverages on the course. Awards will be presented to the top three foursomes, door prizes will be presented to certain lucky ticket holders and awards will be presented to “Hole in One,” “Long Drive Hole” and “Closest to the Pin Holes”.

Sponsorship opportunities abound with “Tournament/Event Sponsor”, “Lunch Sponsor”, “Beverage Sponsor”, “Door Prize Sponsor” and “Hole Sponsor”. All sponsors will receive recognition prior to and during the event and at the lunch/awards presentation. Sponsors will have specific signs with Company Name/Logo designating their specific sponsorship.

Crystal Falls Golf Club is one of the most picturesque courses in the area. Tucked away in the Texas Hill Country, the trees and gently rolling hills cradle this beautiful layout. The Golf Club at Crystal Falls is a 6,654 yard, par 72 course that has earned its nickname, "The most scenic public golf course in Central Texas." So, whether you are a golfer who wants to relax on the course or test your limits, you will play a round you will never forget.
