The Crete-Monee High School Bridge to Success Program hosted Career Day on October 17, 2023, and the event was a resounding success! Students showed sincere interest in the different apprenticeship programs available as careers. This was a wonderful event that provided opportunities for students to meet professional union tradesmen.
