Counseling Corner: Addison Trail Guidance Department to host annual Career Week to help ensure students are ready for the workforce

At District 88, our mission is to work for the continuous improvement of student achievement. To assist with accomplishing that mission, we implement programs, events and services to help ensure students are career ready and have the skills and knowledge to succeed in the workforce.

As part of that focus, the Addison Trail Guidance Department will host its annual Career Week from March 14 to 18. During that event, students will be able to explore various careers, hear from professionals in a virtual format (provided by Junior Achievement of Chicago), register to meet with guest speakers of their choice and attend a Career/Job Fair during lunch periods on March 16.

For questions or more information about Career Week, contact Addison Trail Guidance Counselor Mario Fernandez at mfernandez@dupage88.net or 630-628-3321.
