The DuPage Area Student Leadership Academy is designed
to link local high school juniors and seniors with members of our local
business community to help students develop the skills and knowledge
they need to succeed in the workplace.
The academy is made possible thanks to the support of the grant program and support from area educational institutions like Lewis University, Midwestern University, Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) – Rice Campus, Benedictine University, ITT Tech, DeVry University, Elmhurst College and College of DuPage.
“Each situation reviewed during the sessions related to real-life events that I might face in the future.” York High School student
We also have some outstanding business partners like Cray Kaiser, Ltd., MRxi Corporation, Weselak and Associates, and Career Vision, to name a few. To keep this program successful, we need your support and expertise. We have four sessions throughout the year that focus on diversity and individual styles, business attire, meeting and greeting, first impressions, time management, goal setting, how to choose a major or career, purpose for writing a resume, cover and thank you letter, interviewing skills, workplace attitude, dealing with change, and using manners and proper etiquette in a business setting.

“The Academy taught me to be responsible, to respect my peers and to celebrate others success rather than criticize their problems. I can pursue any career and implement my business skills and background.” Westmont High School student
