Joint Venture Between Tallo and Texas ESC, Region 13 Will
Support State’s Investment in Career Learning
In support of Texas students and the state’s workforce
development goals, Tallo—an online platform for connecting students
with academic, scholarship, and career opportunities—is partnering
with Texas ESC, Region 13: one of the largest educational service
centers in Texas.
As part of this partnership, more than 100,000 students across
the greater Austin area will have unlimited access to the
innovative online platform.
“Tallo is dedicated to helping the next generation of talent
overcome boundaries by connecting them to opportunities that match
their skills and abilities,” said Mike Dardaris, Tallo’s Head of
Business Development. “Partnering with Region 13 will help provide
Texas students with a valuable tool for finding job and educational
opportunities. Importantly, Tallo is one of the only resources that
students can take with them through graduation and beyond.”
Through Tallo, students can join other emerging professionals in
creating a dynamic digital profile to showcase their skills and
abilities. As students continue their path to professional and
personal fulfillment in collaboration with higher education
institutions and through connections to diverse companies and
career fields, Tallo will help them continue to explore their
career options after they graduate.
“Our primary goal is to give students, educators, and school
leaders in Texas every opportunity to succeed. This innovative
partnership supports this goal and creates a true pathway for
students to see their futures,” said Dr. Rich Elsasser, Executive
Director of Education Service Center Region 13. “Together, we are
helping student talent become happier, more productive, and more
innovative members of society.”

About Texas Region 13
The regional service centers are public institutions created and
authorized by the Texas Legislature. In 1965, the Legislature
authorized the State Board of Education to establish regional media
centers by 1967. That same year, the U.S. Congress passed the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide funds for
supplementary educational centers.
Texas is divided into twenty regions with each region having its
own education service center. Region 13 Education Service Center
was established in August 1967 in Austin, Texas. Region 13 opened
with a staff of three and now has more than 270 employees. We
continue to grow to accommodate challenges and needs in the
education field.
