Students can apply to become a member now through Dec. 5.
McDonough County CEO is now accepting applications for students who are interested in participating in next year’s CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) program. Students of all skill sets and backgrounds can be successful in this class, so long as they are hard-working, trustworthy, and willing to take on an exciting challenge.
“McDonough CEO is not a business class,” says Ketra Roselieb, McDonough CEO board chair and vice president for finance and administration at Western Illinois University. “It’s a transformational learning course that offers high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to learn about their community, discover their entrepreneurial skills, and develop valuable interpersonal skills, unlocking their true potential.”
To apply, visit mcdonoughcountyceo. com/applynow, and submit your application by December 5.
“Applying for CEO was an opportunity that I could not pass up,” says Anna Dixon, a Trinity Academy student and Class of 2026 CEO member. “Knowing the experience of past students allowed me to understand that CEO was more than just learning the basics of business. This program would give me the chance to learn about different careers that I would have never considered before.”
