Empowering Students to Plan for Careers and Higher Education

Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD) is excited to share a powerful resource for students and families: My Texas Future, an interactive website created by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to support career and postsecondary planning. The site helps students navigate career exploration, identify in-demand jobs, and plan for higher education—all while keeping affordability and regional job demand in mind.

A Personalized Approach to Career Planning My Texas Future is designed to make career and education planning easier and more accessible, particularly for those who may be juggling work, family, and school responsibilities. The site offers a variety of features, including:

• Career and Program Exploration: Students can explore career options based on their skills, interests, and regional job demand, with clear pathways to identify necessary skills and relevant educational programs.

• Data-Driven Insights: My Texas Future provides key data on job demand, earnings potential, and time to degree, helping students make informed decisions and reducing the stress of postsecondary planning.

• Support for Returning Students: My Texas Future connects individuals looking to re-enter education or upskill with advisors at participating colleges for personalized guidance through the enrollment process.

By exploring potential careers and educational pathways, students can make decisions that set them on a path to T-2-4 success, whether that means entering the workforce directly or pursuing further education.

How to Access My Texas Future Accessing My Texas Future is simple and free. Students, parents, and guardians can visit My Texas Future to explore career options, educational pathways, and financial resources that support both immediate and long-term goals. The website is accessible 24/7, making it easy to explore at your convenience.

SBISD students can also log into Canvas to access additional tools and support services to guide them in their career and educational journey.
