"The Learn More, Earn More brochure was
an eye-opening resource for our Americorps members. It
made them reflect on the importance of education and the
effect it has on their future in terms of career opportunities
and financial stability. It is great to have resources
such as this brochure which can impact someone’s
future choices.”

UIC Americorps Project MORE Coordinator

"In partnership with the
Chicago Public Schools Department of Education To Careers,
we have worked to generate job opportunities and paid
internships for graduates of their Information Technology,
Business & Finance and Pre-Engineering programs.
The ICRN system allows us to manage 100s of portfolios
of students’ resumes, interest inventories, letters
of reference and schedules of availability. The technology,
data and technical support the ICRN offers would cost
tens of thousands of dollars to approximate with private
sector resources – and it’s free! Learn
it! Use it!"

“Your ‘Kids and Careers:
How Families Can Help Youth Succeed’ brochure was
God sent. At an Illinois Steps AHEAD Gear Up parents gathering
the scholars [students] were asked to share why they had
chosen the college or university they planned to attend
after high school. Imagine my surprise when some of them
went into their bookbags and pulled our your brochure,
a mad frenzy followed as all of them found theirs to aid
in quoting facts and figures to support their selections
and/or to explain their change in direction. The parents
requested copies to keep for themselves as the scholars
seemed unwilling to part with theirs. I love it when a
plan comes together!
Again, thank you for allowing our scholars to reap the
benefits of your wonderful program.”
