Southeast Texas Works! Podcast Update
The Southeast Texas Works! Podcast series is designed to be a unique and interesting
outreach tool to engage our community. Our goal is utilizing the podcast format to
share information and views of business leaders, elected officials, professional
educators, workforce board members, and others, on local issues, including the area's
economic growth and the need for strategic workforce development.
Our first podcast release in April featured
Dr. Johanna Boult and Chelsea Lyles, with Lamar
University's Speech and Hearing Sciences. Boult, department chair, encourages parents and
students to learn about various occupations and available training in speech language pathology.
Additionally, she describes the degree offerings including a new certificate program. Lyles talks
about her educational background, mentoring other Masters' students, and her personal experience
with clinical services that are available to the entire community.
Later in April, we released a podcast featuring
Dana Espinal, the director of the
Lamar State College Port Arthur Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Espinal
shared valuable insights and advice for entrepreneurs and experienced small business
owners in Southeast Texas. She encourages individuals interested in starting or expanding
their business to take advantage of the many, no-cost services and mentoring available to
help strengthen a company's economic well-being.
