State Rep. Marc Veasey and Texas Department of Transportation Announce Summer Job Program

Program Highlights:

The goal of the program is to provide students with on-the-job experience, while cultivating a qualified, diverse work force. On-the-job experience helps students establish career credentials, while enhancing their professional growth. Working side by side with experienced professionals in the transportation field enables students to learn the latest techniques of the industry, while at the same time using practical application of their skills. The program also provides students with salaried positions to help supplement educational expenses.

TxDOT benefits from the program because many of the summer students who were hired become regular full-time employees upon graduating. Currently, 1,907 former student employees hold permanent positions at TxDOT. Some of these are in mid- and upper-level management positions.

Available Jobs:

Approximately 400 students are expected to be hired this summer. Positions are available statewide and at Austin headquarters.  Jobs are in administrative, information technology, engineering and maintenance fields.   Positions are available from May 1 through August 15.   Eligibility Requirements:   1. Must be at least 17 years old,  2. Be eligible to work in the U.S., and 3. Be enrolled as a full-time student at a high school, technical school, college or university the spring semester before the summer work period OR be currently accepted for enrollment at an institution of higher learning.
