Our CEO Application Window is officially open! We are currently looking for our 2023-2024 students, and we want to continue to inform our entire community on how truly amazing and transformative this program can be for our students!

Sullivan County CEO CEO Program is now accepting applications from Juniors and Seniors in high school who are interested in participating in the 2023-2024 CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) program.

The CEO Program, provided by the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship, is an accredited, year-long course designed to get students out into their community and equip them with business knowledge.

CEO is not held in the classroom. Instead, students meet each day in local businesses where they learn about the inner workings of companies and hear from community leaders.

Those who participate learn professional business concepts, are paired with a mentor in the community, and, from start to finish, set up their own, functioning business.

But it’s not just about starting a business. Students learn about professionalism and essential life skills. They have the opportunity to explore career opportunities and are encouraged to develop relationships with community leaders.

Students of all skill sets and backgrounds have the opportunity to be successful in this class, provided they are hard-working, trustworthy, and willing to take on an exciting challenge.

One student said of the program, “You’ll never get this opportunity anywhere else. CEO isn’t just about running or creating a business. You spend an hour and a half, 5 days a week, gaining skills that will benefit you no matter what your career path.”

For students who are interested in participating, the deadline to apply is February 18th. Visit Sullivancountyceo.com, or scan the QR Code below to apply. Email kbooker@swest.k12.in.us for more information.
