From Vision to Reality: CEO Students Exhibit Their Personal Businesses at Annual Trade Show

Kankakee County CEO students showcased their personal businesses at today's Trade Show at The Majestic in Downtown Kankakee. Each year, CEO programs from around the country culminate with a community trade show where every participant designs and builds a booth to present the personal business they have developed throughout the year.

The event offers the community a chance to see the businesses these student entrepreneurs have created from the ground up, with guidance from their facilitator, mentors, board members, community leaders, and business owners. It also provides students the opportunity to practice and refine their business pitches and communication skills built over the course of the program.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended today to encourage these young entrepreneurs! Thank you for the overwhelming support!
