The City of Rochelle wanted to prepare its employees to step into leadership roles following future retirements. They contacted Kish for training, and we created an innovative leadership development program, Rochelle U.

Rochelle employees who participate in the program earn college credit and can easily continue their studies at Kish to complete an associate degree.
