Do you want to start a career program but worry that your grades won't be good enough? Have you ever talked yourself out of applying to a job you would love because you lack previous experience? At Rockford Career College, we have been showing students their potential and assisting them in achieving their professional goals since 1862. Graduate Justin Ferro is just one of many former students who reached his dreams despite his uncertainties.

How could you make your parents proud? Many of us have parents whose primary goal is for us to have a better life than they had. Some great ways to thank them for their efforts are to contribute to your community and improve life for future generations. For Francisca Blanco-Moreno, this meant starting a new career.

What do you think of when you hear the word “success”? Maybe making financial gains or receiving a promotion come to mind. However, personal success is just as, if not more, important. Being able to exceed your own set standards and striving to continually improve are the marks of a truly successful individual. Wanting to achieve this kind of success is what brought Chase Robinson to Rockford Career College.
