The Peoria ROE hosted the Emerging Workforce Alliance Summer Retreat! We are very thankful to Methodist College for hosting and sharing all of the exciting resources that they have for our students coming out of high school. Time at the retreat was spent learning from our critical partners at Junior Achievement, ICC, ISAC, and the Association for Illinois Rural and Small Schools. Preparing our students to be college and career ready with financial literacy skills was the center of our conversation!

The brainchild of representative Jehan Gordon Booth this program supports underrepresented communities with the services that they need to join the workforce with a credential. Something that began here locally at Illinois Central College has now grown statewide and is being considered at a national level.
