Mick*CEV student

CEV has provided a greater door to opportunity. I'm enrolled in the Construction Management program at Iowa Western, and with the support of my CEV coach, I am enjoying it, and doing well in my classes.

Our Impact This Year

CEV serves eight school districts in Southwest Iowa. CEV is currently serving 130 students, but slated to add another 100 in the next year. CEV coaches spend countless hours dedicated to coaching students in personal, professional, and academic development. CEV ensures all our students have opportunities for real-world, hands-on experiences in the career field of their interest. And that is thanks to the incredible businesses that CEV has formed lasting partnerships with.
