EVENT: Racine and Kenosha County Student Community Tour
Explore Where You Can Live, Work, and Thrive After Graduation
RCEDC, in partnership with the Kenosha Area Business Alliance (KABA), is launching the Student Community Tour — a half-day experience that gives local college students an inside look at the communities, careers, and quality of life offered in Racine and Kenosha Counties.
ABOUT THE EVENT
This half-day tour invites students to step off campus and dive into the Racine and Kenosha communities—meeting local employers, exploring vibrant downtowns, and discovering all the social, recreational, and lifestyle perks the region has to offer. It’s a chance to connect with the community in a meaningful way, picture an exciting future here after graduation, and uncover the real-world opportunities waiting just beyond campus.
By highlighting real-world opportunities and creating meaningful connections, the tour aims to help students imagine building their future here — choosing Racine and Kenosha Counties places where they can live, work, and thrive after graduation.
For questions or more information, please contact Cassandra Glenn from RCEDC at cglenn@rcedc.org or Brooke Infusino from KABA at binfusino@kaba.org.
