ALLEN, Texas–Credit Union of Texas recently welcomed 20 freshmen from the Lake Highlands Pathways to Technology Early College High School to its corporate office to experience a day in the life of a credit union executive.
During their visit, the students learned about the credit union’s brand and history, as well as the different career paths that are available working at a credit union. They toured CUTX’s new corporate office and heard firsthand experiences from executives in marketing, operations, member services, lending, and its president and CEO, Eric Pointer.
“Opportunities like these bring awareness and understanding of the banking industry, which most students will never get a chance to experience,” said Pathways Technology Coordinator Masud Shamsid-Deen. “The visit motivated and inspired our students to apply themselves and develop the skills needed for a successful career. Several students even left dreaming of one day working for Credit Union of Texas.”
CUTX Vice President of Engagement, Jennifer Olvera, added,” I’m excited that CUTX was able to bring a deeper insight into careers in banking that students may not have thought about as a potential job path for them after they graduate. With our passion to help engage and educate our communities, this program was a perfect fit and we were so happy to be a part of it.”
