Students get on-the-job experience learning from Park District staff
Students from West Aurora High School’s RISE program recently visited our Park District maintenance facility for a hands-on learning experience.
Guided by our staff, students completed a truck safety check, washed vehicles, and assembled a table using tools. With each task, students built confidence and learned what it takes to work in a maintenance setting.
Programs like RISE (Reaching Independence through Supported Education) help students explore various career paths, discover their interests, and gain real-world experience.
Thanks to teachers Ellen Hernandez and Cari Davidson, along with their paraprofessionals, for arranging this session. We’re proud to support these students as they find their path.
