Career & Technical Education in Richardson ISD prepares all students for the world of work through intentional and meaningful career focused programs of study. Students experience real-world learning environments in all of our industry specific programming.
With a dedicated industry and higher education partnership, students in any of RISD’s four college and career school models are connected to their future, equipped with industry relevant knowledge and skills, and are steps ahead of others upon graduation. It’s the #RISDAdvantage!
In January, a group of RISD Healthcare students traveled to UT Southwestern Medical School to meet with the second-year med students and surgical residents who will serve as mentors for these sophomores through graduation.
