SWTX - Business Office Technology

08/30/2026

🤝 Good things happen when our classrooms and our community stay in conversation.

Southwest Texas College Business Office Technology is pleased to welcome **Uvalde Memorial Hospital** and **Maverick County Hospital District** as new BOT Industry Partners!

These partnerships create a stronger connection between BOT education and the regional workplace. Our partners may help us understand the skills employers need, participate in workforce conversations, and consider qualified BOT students and graduates for appropriate opportunities.

No partnership can guarantee an interview or a job—but opening a line of communication with important regional employers is a very good place to begin.

We’re also launching **BOT Career Connection**, a newsletter for current students and graduates featuring:

✅ Regional career opportunities
🧭 Honest guidance about qualifications
💻 Skills employers are requesting
📈 Changes affecting administrative careers
🚀 Practical next steps for building toward future opportunities

Administrative work is no longer “just working the front desk.” Today’s professionals often work across:

**Customers + Computers + Records + Money + Coworkers**

BOT Career Connection will help students and graduates recognize what they’re prepared to do now—and what they may want to build toward next.

**Current BOT students and graduates: Keep an eye on your SWTX email. The right door may be one you’re preparing to open now.**

🚨 BIG BOT NEWS 🚨

Starting this fall, all BOT students will be required to pass a new course:
POFT 1310 – Advanced Office Telepathy 🧠✨

Students will learn how to:
• send emails with their minds
• format spreadsheets by blinking
• and sense when a printer is about to jam before it happens

Just kidding. 😄
But in BOT, you will learn the real-world tech and office skills that make you look like magic in the workplace.

Growth Mindset - Vusi Thembekwayo

On behalf of SWTX’s Business Office Technology program, our hearts are with the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas—our neighbors, colleagues, and friends—and with Eagle Pass, our own community, following this weekend’s tragedy at the casino. We hold our Kickapoo community especially close in prayer, asking for comfort, healing, and strength for every family. With deep gratitude to the first responders and medical teams caring for us all. 🕯️
