SCBID’s Jose Gonzalez Inspires Careers paths in irrigation

Jose Gonzalez from the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District (SCBID) recently visited Wahluke High School to share his career experience and the important work happening at SCBID. During his visit, he educated students on various career opportunities within the District and explained the vital role of irrigation in sustaining local agriculture.

Jose’s presentation sparked the interest of several students, who expressed enthusiasm about potentially pursuing careers with SCBID in the future. We would like to extend a special thank you to Mr. Jonathan Betz, Wahluke High School Ag teacher, for inviting us into his classroom. Mr. Betz noted that Jose has the heart of a teacher and easily connected with the students. We are grateful for Jose’s passion and his dedication to inspiring and engaging with the next generation of professionals in our community.
