Rock Island High School Students Get A Jump Start On Careers With Illinois Apprenticeships
Ten Rock Island High School students from the Welding and CNA programs joined 60 area high school students at the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce apprenticeship “Signing Day.”
The students will start their apprenticeships in June. They will work full-time during the summer months. Then during the school year, students will work part-time as an apprentice while also attending and completing their normal class schedule in school.
Welding students signed letters of Intent to companies like John Deere, Crawford Company, and McLaughlin. While the apprenticeship locations for the CNA students is still being determined, students will have the opportunity to work at a hospital, like Unity-Point, or an assisted living facility like Friendship manor.
