On May 1st the Brazoria County Petrochemical Council hosted its 5th Annual Career Signing Day, continuing the program's success in providing opportunities for students in Brazoria County. This year, 32 BISD students were “signed” by local contractor organizations for full-time employment within our local construction and petrochemical sectors.
