From walking the halls of RPS 205, to protecting the streets of Rockford. Alignment Rockford wants to collaborate with the city's fire and police department's to create a talent pipeline.
"Ultimately we want our students from Rockford Public Schools to get great jobs in our police force and fire department," says Alignment Rockford Executive Director Bridget French. "A local workforce, a diverse workforce, we need more minorities, more women in these fields."
She says they'll do it through creating a task force focused on implementing curriculum as early as elementary school all the way through college.
