INA, IL (March 22, 2022) - Several local professionals and business owners met with Rend Lake College faculty and staff recently during the college’s Career and Technical Education Advisory Committee meetings.
The meetings covered nearly 30 different programs that fall within RLC’s CTE curriculum. The Advisory Committee members are instrumental in helping the college assess and counsel each program with what could benefit RLC graduates in the workplace. They also provide insight on what each field is looking for in future employees and colleagues.
