How do you choose a CAREER(or COLLEGE MAJOR)?

Career and assessment tools can be found at LoneStar.edu/Career-Services

Making a decision about your college major and what you want to do as a career can be overwhelming. What’s the best way to pick a career that will bring satisfaction and room for growth down the road?

Career Services advisors at Lone Star College are available to meet with students in a friendly one-on-one setting to help them answer those questions. But first, the LSC advisors recommend a couple of simple steps to get started.

Step 1 – Self-discovery.What special skills and abilities do you have? In other words, what are you good at? What do you like to do (and not like to do)?

Students are often rushed to choose a major or a career path because people want to hear that they have goals. It’s important for students to become aware of their interests, skills and even their personality to help them select a satisfying career.

Step 2 – Explore career options.Students should take time to investigate the world of “work” and match careers with results of the self-discovery process. Some things to keep in mind are: the type of education required, the actual work environment, the salary and the job market itself – is this a career that will still be in demand in the future?

One tool, My Next Move at MyNextMove.org, is a self-help exercise that will guide students through a career search process.

CareerStar is a job placement service that gives LSC students and alumni access to a database of more than 6,000 job openings and internships.

The Perfect Interview tool provides interviewing skills for students, including mock interviews, along with assistance with resumes and cover letters. GradCast is a resume distribution tool for students that targets employers who hire specific skill sets.

LSC TECHNOLOGY CENTERS:

BLUEPRINTFOR THE FUTURE OF

WORKFORCE EDUCATIONHaving updated skills is critical in today’s work-

force as more and more employees demand their workers are trained to operate state-of-the-art equip-ment.

Lone Star College is ready to meet that demand, constructing modern technology centers to train tomor-row’s workforce today.

“It’s about economic prosperity,” said Dr. Stephen C. Head, LSC chancellor. “We want to be the pre-miere workforce training resource in the area.”

The Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University reports 62 percent of Texas workers will require some kind of postsecondary edu-cation by 2020.

LSC is opening a world of forward-thinking train-ing at advanced centers across greater north Houston, giving students the skills they need today and into the next decade. LSC offers more than 100 workforce programs supported by $29 million in state-of-the-art equipment to ensure students have the most up-to-date skills possible.

The LSC-Construction & Skilled Trades Center at LSC-North Harris, which opened in fall 2017, features six classrooms, training labs for Electrical Technology, Field Service Technology, Pipefitting and HVAC-R pro-grams. The center also houses a conference center and office space. Training is offered to support these jobs: electrician, plumber, pipefitter, carpenter, HVAC technician, mechanic, site supervisor, construction foreman, instrument fitter and many more.

The LSC-Process Technology Center at LSC-King-wood opened its doors in spring 2018. Students will learn the skills needed to be a successful process tech-

nologist as well as being trained in instrumentation technology, logistics, and occupational health and safety skills. Process technicians are needed in local chemical and petroleum processing facilities through-out the Texas Gulf Coast, for example, in addition to health care labs.

In the future, the LSC will expand its programs to offer an advanced technical certificate in analyzer technology. These technicians are trained to calibrate, install, repair and perform general maintenance on instruments that provide quality and compliance mon-itoring.

“Lone Star College is building premiere workforce training centers,” said Dr. Alton Smith, LSC Board of Trustees chair. “These new facilities allow Lone Star College to enhance the teaching and training of ca-reer and technical skills that are so desperately need-ed by today’s employers.”

The Greater Houston Partnership is forecasting nearly 75,000 annual job openings in middle-skill ca-reers. These include welders, electricians, plumbers, HVAC-R and carpenters. Middle-skill jobs generally re-quire more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree.

The need for skilled Information Technology em-ployees continues to grow as well. The LSC-Westway Park Technology Center, scheduled to open fall 2018, will provide 50,000 square feet of instructional space to train students in cybersecurity, mobile app develop-ment, Cisco and CCNP, as well as professional devel-opment for IT professionals. LSC students will be able to get training for these IT jobs: software developer, systems engineer, data analyst, systems administrator,

About GHP’s UpSkill Houston

In 2014, The Greater Houston Partnership created UpSkill Houston – among the nation’s first business-led collaborations working with education and community stakeholders – to close Houston’s skills gap. The site, UpSkillHouston.org, is a collection of resources that outline the critical need in the market for workers, and to help those looking for a good-paying career that doesn’t require a four-year college degree.

web developer, solutions architect, applications engi-neer, graphic designer, programmer/analyst and net-work security engineer, among many others.

In addition to the new centers, LSC is also increas-ing the learning space available for students to take advantage of education that is affordable and close to home. LSC added 40,146 students fall 2007 to fall 2017, an 81% increase making it one of the fastest growing colleges in the nation.

LSC has expanded the LSC-Cypress Center at LSC-CyFair, the LSC-Health Science building at LSC-Tomball, and the LSC-Conroe Center and the Live Entertainment Technology building at LSC-Montgom-ery, giving students even greater access to complete training needed to stay competitive.

The new LSC-Transportation & Logistics Center is scheduled to go online in fall 2019 to help keep Hous-ton’s economy moving in the right direction. Currently, America is facing a driver shortage. The American Truck Association estimates a need for 200,000 to 250,000 new drivers by 2020 and the Bureau of La-bor Statistics projects the need for drivers will grow 6 percent from 2016 to 2026. As the demand for goods increases, more drivers will be needed to keep supply chains moving.

“It’s an exciting time at Lone Star College,” said Head. “We are looking forward to continuing our mission of providing high-quality academic and work-force programs that broaden our student’s learning experience and prepare them for the 21st century workplace.”

(RE)BUILDING

HOUSTON


LSC is forming 16 new construction programs and building new labs with equipment to help Rebuild Houston. Grant funds are available to student who qualify.

Hurricane Harvey left a wide path of destruc-tion in its wake. Homes, businesses and infrastruc-ture were all impacted and while recovery efforts are underway, it will take some time before the Houston area fully recovers.

“Lone Star College understands firsthand the damage left by Hurricane Harvey,” said Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., LSC chancellor. “All our locations experienced some kind of damage with LSC-King-wood being the hardest hit.”

LSC-Kingwood had seven of its nine buildings rendered unusable due to floodwaters.

Lone Star College, known worldwide as a leader in workforce training, is busy train-ing tomorrow’s work-force today to help speed up recovery ef-forts.

To assist in this mas-sive undertaking, LSC has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Texas Workforce Commission to help Houston rebuild. The grant provided fund-ing to Lone Star College to develop 16 additional construction programs and the build out of new labs with equipment to support construction train-ing.

Millions of dollars in tuition funds are avail-able to students who qualify for funding through the Houston-Galveston Area Council. Find out if

you qualify through Workforce Solutions Offices located throughout Houston: wrksolutions.com/find-a-location.

The purpose is to immediately train 3,000 stu-dents to help fill the worker shortage gap in Hous-ton and the Gulf Coast Region. The grant money is available for students who qualify and will cover tuition, books and even work uniforms.

“Lone Star College is leading the way to help build up Houston’s workforce, train students and get them to work with highly-accredited and in-

dus t r y - recogn ized skills,” said Head. LSC is offering courses in Concrete Finishing, Electrical Technology, Masonry, Occupation-al Safety and Health Administration, Pipefit-ting, Plumbing, Weld-ing, Drywall, Framing, Carpentry, Glazing and Windows, Sheet Metal and Duct Work, HVAC installation, and more.

Many of these pro-grams are being of-fered at the LSC-Con-

struction and Skilled Trades Technology Center at LSC-North Harris. This 50,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, which opened in fall 2017, offers classes to meet the demands of students and get them entered into the workforce quickly.

The demand for skilled welders is rising and the technology of welding is becoming more advanced, especially where certification is concerned.

The influence of welding is so broad that many of the product designs and building techniques people take for granted would not be possible without weld-ing.

Lone Star College students have a unique opportunity to learn a career that can be shaped around their inter-ests.

LSC offers students Na-tional Center for Construc-tion Education and Research (NCCER) courses in welding, ironworking, pipefitting and HVAC-R. NCCER is recognized as the training, assess-ment, certification and career development standard for the construction and maintenance craft professions.

“The organization develops standardized construc-tion and maintenance curriculum and assessments with portable credentials,” said Linda Leto-Head,

LSC associate vice chancellor, Workforce Education and Corporate Partnerships. “These credentials are tracked through NCCER’s registry and allows orga-nizations and companies to track the qualifications of their professionals and/or check the qualifications of possible new hires.”

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that more than 200,000 newly trained professionals will be needed by 2020. Welding jobs start at $15 to $16 an hour with benefits and rise from there.

LSC students have access to a wide variety of welding programs including a Fast Track program to earn a

Welding, Pipefitting or Ironworking NCCER Certifica-tion in as little as 8 weeks. Students can also obtain Associate of Applied Science degrees in Inspection Technology, Pipefitting and Welding Technology.

Visit LoneStar.edu/Programs-Workforce to fire up a new career in welding.

Certified welders are in high demand and Lone Star College

offers NCCER certification.

Looking for a career where your creativity, communication and problem-solving skills can thrive? Crave working with many different types of people? These qualities may not immediately come to mind when you think of the construction industry-but they should.

The construction business in Tex-as is booming, and companies are struggling to find qualified employ-ees. Commercial, public school construction, road, and residential projects are popping up all around us. Nationally, this trend is project-ed to continue, with federal growth estimates upwards of 20 percent in the next decade.

The outlook for construction su-pervisors is strong. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports construc-tion supervisors will be needed as overall construction activity in-creases over the coming decade, with the greater Houston area hav-ing the biggest need in the country. Those with a bachelor’s degree in construction science, construction management, or civil engineering, coupled with construction experi-ence, will have the best job pros-pects.

“Cons t ruc t ion supervisors plan, coordinate, bud-get, and oversee construction proj-ects from start to finish,” said Linda Leto-Head, LSC associate vice chancellor, Work-force Education and Corporate Partner-ships. “Many construc-tion supervisors have a main office, but spend much of their time working with foremen and crews out of a field office at a construction site.”

The construction supervi-sion associate of applied science degree program prepares graduates for entry-level careers as construction supervisors. This degree combines both the business and technical aspects of this field. Students are introduced to Business Principles, Principles of Manage-ment, Information and Project Man-agement. This program is ideal for a craftsman working to move up into a superintendent or supervisor position in a large construction firm

or subcontractor.“Lone Star College has a vari-

ety of courses scheduled for sum-mer, and thanks to available grant funding, Lone Star College is able to assist those in need, easing the financial burden that going back to school can cause for many stu-dents,” said Leto-Head.

DAVID SCHWARTZ had already earned a degree from the University of Houston, but felt like there something more he need-ed to do.

“I realized I needed to go back to college and follow my passion,” said Schwartz who enrolled in the Mechatronics Tech-nician program at LSC-University Park and recently completed the program.

Mechatronic technicians are required to work on and with equipment integrating electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, hy-draulics and computer controls.

Schwartz was able to take what he learned at Lone Star Col-lege and secure a job working in Beaumont.

“I’ll be helping them build a new manufacturing facility in Beaumont, using the latest automated manufacturing technolo-gy,” he said. Schwartz will be part of a team that is building the new factory, which will utilize revolutionary automated manufac-turing equipment.

Part of the curriculum for earning a Mechatronics Technician degree involves Introduction to Communication, a course that helps students gain self-assurance when being interviewed for a job.

“To be honest, communicating was not my strong suit,” said Schwartz. “Being able to apply my work experience to future job skills was critical in my phone interview as well and I was glad to have given it a good amount of thought beforehand.”

Schwartz credited his professors with helping him succeed as well.

“I can say with confidence that my resume would have looked awful without the advice of Professor Skopak,” said Schwartz.

“Lone Star College definitely changed my life for the better. Thanks to the professors, I am starting a really well-paying job in a field I love.”

FOR OUR OWNWhen Sonia Garza, a former Lone Star College nursing student, reported for work at

HealthSouth Cypress Rehab Hospital, the last person she expected to see was her former LSC-CyFair Math Professor Kim Lane.

“Mrs. Lane was my math angel and now our paths have crossed again,” said Garza.Lane was moved to the Cypress area hospital after suffering a severe accident to receive

occupational and physical therapy and await more surgery.“I couldn’t believe that Mrs. Lane was now my student and it was my responsibility to empow-

er her with wound care knowledge,” said Garza. Registered Nurses (RNs) provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the pub-

lic about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members. RNs work in hospitals, physicians’ offices, home healthcare services, and nursing care facilities. Others work in correctional facilities or schools, or serve in the military.

“Sonia was a great student,” said Lane. “She was a non-traditional student, out of high school for many years, married with two sons, and she worked so hard in the math classes that I taught her.”

Due to an aging population, the demand for healthcare services will increase over the next several years providing which can provide a rewarding career for those with a passion for assisting and caring for others.

“Helping others was not an easy task, but the satisfaction and gratitude I receive from my patients made my days fulfilling,” said Garza. “I could not see myself doing anything else in life. Nursing was my calling.”

Garza graduated the LSC-CyFair Associate Degree Nursing Program with a GPA of 3.75 in 2012 and began working at HealthSouth Cypress Rehab Hospital as a staff nurse. She has since received the “Outstanding Employee Achievement Award” in 2013; was Wound Care Certified and became a Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse in 2014; earned her BSN from University of Texas, Arlington in 2015 and still has plans to get her MSN.

MICHELLE GARDNER knew she needed to up-date her skills after being laid off. That’s when a friend – who just completed the inspection tech-nology program at Lone Star College – suggested Michelle look in to it.

“I decided I needed to finish,” said Gardner who earned her Inspection Technol-ogy AAS degree and Pipefitting cer-tification simultaneously while study-ing at LSC-North Harris.

“I wanted training that lets me go out into the world and apply the

knowledge,” Gardner said.The Inspection Technology AAS program

trains students to become certified welding and quality control inspectors. Inspection technicians work as welding specialists in the fabrication, construction and manufacturing industries. They are also exposed to basic metallurgy and inspec-tion procedures.

The Pipefitting Fast-Track certification program was developed in conjunction with the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). The NCCER is the training, assessment, certification and career development standard for the construction and maintenance craft pro-fessional.

“These credentials are tracked through NC-CER’s Registry System that allows organizations and companies to track the qualifications of their craft professionals and/or check the qualifications of possible new hires,” said Linda Leto-Head, LSC associate vice chancellor, Workforce Education and Corporate Partnerships.

Gardner said the hands-on training played a key role in her instruction. “It might sound hard or challenging, but this is something you can do.”

Pipefitters are employed in the maintenance departments of power stations, refineries, off-shore installations, factories and other companies by pipefitting contractors.

“I hope I can inspire someone to come to Lone Star College,” said Gardner. “I was thankful for Lone Star College and hope to keep moving for-ward to one day becoming an engineer.”

GRACIELA LOVE is an individual who loves to help people and followed her dream to becoming a nurse.

“Working as a nurse allows me the opportunity to care for clients in a professional but compassionate manner,” said Love, who is currently employed at South-west Asthma & Allergy Associates.

Always in high demand, licensed vocational nurses (LVN) are respon-

sible for rendering basic nursing care under the direction of a physician or registered nurse. Once a student completes the program, they are eligi-ble for licensing as an LVN and are able to pur-sue careers at hospitals, long-term facilities and other health care facilities.

As the baby boomer population ages, the need for health care services is expected to in-crease. The U.S. Dept. of Labor projects a 27 percent increase in the in number of Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses in Texas from 2014 to 2024.

Lone Star College is prepared to meet that de-mand by offering a one year LVN program that can get you entered into the workforce quickly. LSC is an open-enrollment institution with most students being accepted once they have complet-ed the admissions process. LSC is affordable and close to home, making it the perfect choice for those interested in joining the health care industry.

“I choose Lone Star College-Kingwood because it was close to home and had excellent resources available,” said Love. “The experience was real.”

LSC has state of the art simulation equipment and laboratories along with supportive faculty and staff ready to help you build a strong foun-dation and succeed. The program includes hands on laboratory work, classroom and clinical facil-ity rotations.

Love encourages people interested in joining this profession to go for it. “Upon entering for the first time it may seem overwhelming but do not be afraid to ask anyone for help in guiding you along the way. They are sufficiently equipped to handle all your questions, or getting you to some-one who can,” said Love.
