Johnsburg High School was the site for the first, Large Equipment Career Day attended by automotive students from high schools in school districts U-46, 300, and 301. Students had the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills gained in the high schools’ Automotive CTE programs to diesel applications within the Large Equipment industry. Sponsored by the AED Foundation, SkillsUSA, and the Youth Workforce Development Foundation, more than 400 students from Illinois and Wisconsin benefited from this “hands on” career experience operating large equipment on the Johnsburg High School campus.
Thank you to Johnsburg High School and West Side Tractor for hosting the experience for our region’s students.
