Our guest this week is Melissa Hagerman of Rockford Career College. Melissa is the Vice President of Career Services, Community Outreach, and Alumni Affairs at the College. Before moving to the Rockford region, she grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and eventually made her way out to DeKalb to receive her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Northern Illinois University. Melissa plays a critical role in constantly improving RCC’s relationship to the Rockford Region.
At Rockford Career College, the goal is student success. Students gather in Rockford in a friendly, small-class environment that feels like home. That means you’ll get plenty of one-on-one attention, unlike a big school. You’ll learn from highly qualified
and caring instructors, all of whom have real-world experience in their field. Classes are hands-on, so you can get a feel for what you’re learning. During the last quarter of your program, you’ll even enter an externship off-campus at a local employer, where
you’ll put your skills to work.
