Only 9% of high school students are on LinkedIn. That number hasn’t changed much over the years, even though the networking platform continues to grow.

Now you can count McDonough County CEO students to that percentage. Last week we completed a workshop with Stacey Macchi, an educator and Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert, and our young entrepreneurs are all officially on LinkedIn!

During this hands-on session, each student created their own professional profile. We discussed how to showcase their skills, experiences, and entrepreneurial journey in a way that opens doors to future opportunities.

In today’s digital world, these students are getting ahead of the curve. If you see them show up in your suggested connections, please connect and encourage them!
