Addison Trail and Willowbrook students invited to participate in UPSTART career exploration and readiness program

Resilient’s UPSTART program provides students with the tools they need to achieve success through offering support and empowerment. UPSTART is a pathway for students who might not pursue traditional college education, guiding them toward rewarding careers. This includes opportunities in apprenticeship programs within the construction trades and nonunion positions.

What sets UPSTART apart is the program’s holistic approach. Participants don’t just receive career training; the program also provides mentorship for students in character development, ensuring their growth expands beyond professional skills. This comprehensive approach also extends to the students’ families and the larger community, creating a strong, interconnected support system that reinforces success.

UPSTART invites students to apply for this free tutoring and career exploration and readiness program. Participants will learn what it takes to work in construction, HVAC, electrical, plumbing and more.
