The first year of the Randolph County CEO program is drawing to a close. The nine remaining members of the inaugural Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities class, which started out with 14 students, showed off their budding businesses during a trade show on Friday at the Randolph County Courthouse.
Fifteen Montgomery County high school seniors opened the doors to their very first businesses at the inaugural Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities trade show.
EFFINGHAM — Teutopolis High School senior Mindy Myers is a big believer in the connection between the kitchen and family. “People my age don't get into the kitchen, but family is such an important thing,” she said.
Students from the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities, or CEO, program showcased their products and services at the first trade show in Southern Illinois.
Throughout the next three days, six different county high school programs will host three different trade shows to present the public what students have been working up all year long.
