On April 26, Elgin High School in partnership with Alignment invited business professionals to its campus to share with students high demand apprenticeship and job opportunities in automotive, electrical, engineering, healthcare, large equipment maintenance, manufacturing, and welding.
Violetta Losowski, counselor for Elgin High School, coordinated the event with teachers and students. “Students have the opportunity for real world information on several careers in technical fields. We welcome this incredible opportunity.” Violetta and the teachers worked together to identify students with interest in these careers and as a result of their efforts, over 250 students benefited from the event.
Alignment appreciates its business and post-secondary partners, who chose to spend their day motivating students about the future. Their advice helped the students know how to navigate their high school experience to best prepare for these professions.
