Our Mission

The Eastern Illinois Education for Employment System will offer an activity-based educational program which provides a common core of cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills appropriate for all youth and a more specialized set of transferable skills appropriate for some youth who will enter a career soon after high school graduation. Programs will be organized in such a way that students can obtain general technological competencies which span the occupational spectra and are important for youth with different interests and abilities (college and non-college bound). At the more advanced grade levels, the career and technical education program will offer an organized set of transferable concepts and skills such that students have alternatives for direct entry into the workplace or furthering their education in preparation for a career. The program will emphasize the application of the humanities and technological studies in a manner such that students understand how learning relates to applications in real-world settings.
