Cook County Higher Education (CCHE) has been providing quality services for the past sixteen years. Look what you have helped us accomplish!

• Over 532 people have earned an accredited certificate or degree – that’s 10% of our county’s population.
• Over 1200 residents have received workforce training that moves them forward in their careers.
• The new North Shore Campus provides an opportunity to increase degree and certificate programs using local instructors, Interactive Television, and collaboration with high quality regional colleges and universities.
• Students have a place to study, use high speed computer access (not readily available in our community), work with mentors, and take advantage our office resources including financial aid.
• CCHE is the affordable alternative to a college campus, and as a non-profit organization, we can be flexible in our programming, directly addressing current employment needs.

Cook County Commissioner Sue Hakes states, “CCHE does an excellent job of providing a variety of training and education, enabling residents to fill jobs and create career opportunities, allowing them to remain in Cook County. In doing so, CCHE plays a critical role in the economic development of our community.’’
