The DuPage Area Student Leadership Academy is designed
to link local high school students 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 DuPage Area Education-to-Careers/Tech Prep 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, and Jerry Tatar Law. 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, 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.
