Metallica Scholars Initiative
Empowering students with high-demand skills for 7 years strong
CLC is proud to participate in Year 7 of the Metallica Scholars Initiative (MSI). MSI was launched in 2019 by the All Within My Hands (AWMH) foundation in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). MSI helps students achieve hands-on career and technical training that leads to in-demand, high-skill, high-wage careers.
CLC was one of the first 10 colleges chosen when this initiative began. It remains the only college in Illinois to participate in this prestigious partnership.
Thanks to a generous $5,000 grant, CLC continues to expand workforce opportunities for students, providing the skills and training needed to achieve meaningful, well-paying careers across Lake County.
