Maple Flats Solar Supports Local Student Entrepreneurship

Maple Flats Solar, Louisville, IL, made a generous $3,000 donation in support of Clay County students.

The Clay County IL CEO program was established with the support of local business community partners and area schools to create practical learning opportunities for students. More than a business course, CEO allows students to learn from local business leaders and develop workforce skills of problem solving, teamwork, self-motivation, responsibility, communication, and professionalism. CEO provides high school students with real-world experiences by building future leaders and strengthening our community with both workforce and economic development.
