Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 26, 2006 -- An Austin-based semiconductor equipment firm announced today that it is helping youth across Austin discover the career paths associated with work in large corporations. On Thursday, April 27, 2006, Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® Day, children throughout the city will explore the intricacies of high tech careers while visiting Tokyo Electron's Austin headquarters. Through guided educational activities, the students will discuss the importance of teamwork, project management skills, developing educational strengths in math and science, and ultimately ask themselves, "What do I want to be when I grow up?"
