Northwest Educational Council for Student Success Business Partnerships

Each year, District 211 reaches out to local businesses to collaborate with our high schools for career treks, internships, guest speakers, apprenticeships and Career Expo participation. These work-based learning experiences are organized by the career advisors within each school. Career advisors are part-time employees of the Northwest Educational Council for Student Success (NECSS) and are placed in each of the five schools. NECSS is a secondary and postsecondary regional educational collaborative focused on student success via post-secondary career planning and opportunities between all district partners and local communities. NECSS partners include Harper College and school districts 211, 214, and 220. Tonight’s honorees represent one local business from each high school who have given of his or her time to offer the students of District 211 an exceptional experience while investigating future careers choices.
