The Kishwaukee Education Consortium (KEC) partners with Kishwaukee College to offer occupational dual credit courses to students from five area high schools: DeKalb High School, Genoa-Kingston High School, Hiawatha High School, Rochelle Township High School and Sycamore High School. These courses get students started on a career or technical pathway. After completion of a two-year Associate in Applied Science degree, many of these students will be ready to enter the workforce with an industry credential in their field.
