West40 believes that every student deserves a chance for success in the classroom and in the future. Our partners at The Royal Group recently met with Seniors Plus students to introduce them to what a career in their industry could look like.

The sky is the limit for students who are interested in many in-demand careers and not all of the careers require four year degrees. High school students can start their training for these careers before they graduate by participating in career and technical education programs. In this video, West40 highlights the programs offered by our partners at Ridgewood High School and Elmwood Park High School. Students at both schools (and many other high schools across Illinois) can attend training classes at area colleges and technical educational centers and get a step closer to their possible career of choice.
