Theresia Intag

TREF Executive Director, 2001-Present

Theresia Intag joined TREF shortly after its inception in 2001. In a few years, Theresia has expanded the Texas YOR program to over 200 high school students. Plus, has developed a successful scholarship program through donations and grants, giving over $100,000 to Texas seniors by end of year 2005. And she has implemented a unique college internship program that allows college students to gain insight into the retail training world, develop valuable retail business relationships, and help high school students expand their opportunities.

Theresia has worked over 5 years in retail during high school and college. Her retail beginnings set the stage for a successful sales career in employment consulting, state agency internships, software training, and management. Theresia enjoys working with students, “it is wonderful to give students tools to grow, and to help them get a head start in life. I remember how hard it was to transition from high school, to college, then to a career. I think adults often do not have enough time to teach students “life skills”. I like being able to interact with students, and give them real information about applying for jobs, working at a job, customer service, and communication awareness.”
