Case Study: Community High School District 155 boosts student and industry partner engagement with SchooLinks

Community High School District 155 engages 500+ students and 400+ industry partners with SchooLinks

Community High School District 155, a school district in Illinois, faced a challenge in providing equitable and meaningful career readiness experiences for its 5,400 students. Their existing platform was antiquated and frustrating, creating a disconnect between students and real-world opportunities. Access to internships and industry partners varied greatly between schools, and families felt disconnected from the process. The district needed a comprehensive solution to unify and elevate its career readiness offerings.

The district implemented the SchooLinks college and career readiness platform. SchooLinks provided an intuitive, student-centered hub for goal-setting, exploration, and connecting with local industry partners. The results were immediate and significant, with over 500 students engaging with the platform before its formal introduction. Students logged in over 20,000 times, and the district onboarded more than 400 industry partners, dramatically increasing student access to real-world learning opportunities and eliminating previous barriers.
