Working together to develop the future workforce: Business partnership opportunities with District 88
![](/site/public/agoraimages/?item=13908&v=10)
At District 88, we are committed to providing multiple and flexible pathways for students to ensure they are college and career ready. We continue to partner with colleges/universities and local businesses to expand these opportunities for students.
We invite companies to collaborate with us and support our students through the initiatives below.
- Offer a career and college integrated pathway by providing:
- Tuition assistance
- Competitive wages
- Flexible hours
- Short-term and long-term career pathways
- Other benefits
- Offer students exploratory career experiences in manufacturing and information technology through the Work-Based Learning and Youth Apprenticeship Collaborative program.
- Become a vocational site for the District 88 Transition Program, which helps individuals ages 18 to 21 who have a variety of abilities learn life skills, obtain job training in a community setting and transition to a life of independence after District 88.
- Become a mentor for students at Addison Trail High School and/or at Indian Trail Junior High School in Addison School District 4. The purpose of the Mentor Program is to identify students “on the brink of success,” who will benefit from having a positive role model. Community members and business professionals are matched with students and meet for 30 minutes once a week.
- Advertise your business on a 36” x 60” printed banner displayed in the main gymnasium or on an athletic fence at Addison Trail and/or Willowbrook high schools.
