This year is the 25th that College of DuPage hasoffered free tax filing help for the College district. Lastyear COD accounting student volunteers, under theclose supervision of instructors, helped with 755 returns.“Students not only get real tax preparationexperience, but they learn to interact with customers,greeting them and using their soft skills as well as theirknowledge gained in the classroom. That is so valuableto students,” said Bev Carlson, a program supportspecialist in COD’s Business and Technology division.Approximately 24 students enrolled in two sectionsof Accounting 2200 offer their time and assistance, anda faculty team led by Rob Budney and Mark Yahoudycheck every return. A new wrinkle this year: It’s byappointment only, but the College will still try toaccommodate those with special requests.“Our goal is to alleviate some of the wait times we’vehad in the past, and the appointments should help keepthings flowing smoothly,” Carlson said.To make an appointment, visit cod.edu/accounting.For more information, call (630) 942-3450 or emailtaxprep@cod.edu.Engage cod.edu/engage1

Imagine the benefits if some local citizens—in as little as one year—could earn their high school-equivalency degree, 18 hours of collegecredit and certification in computer networking—all for free.Opportunity,Accelerated.Here’s the dilemma.On the one hand, employers are hard pressed tofind the skilled employees they need to build andmanage vital computer networks—networks that drivebusinesses, networks that connect home computers,printers, scanners, telephones, etc.How many jobs are we talking? The Bureau of LaborStatistics projects that by 2022, there will be 1.6 millionnew jobs—well-paying jobs—in this field. Remarkably,two thirds of those jobs are projected to go unfilled.On the other hand, there are adults in ourcommunity who are unemployed or underemployed:some who never finished high school; some who’vebeen out of the workforce for so long that their skillsare out of date; some with language barriers; many whonever expected to earn more than minimum wage (ifthat) for the rest of their working lives.How many potential workers might be available?Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that morethan 75,000 residents of Community College District502—home to College of DuPage—have less than a12th-grade education.8Now, imagine the benefits ifsome of those local citizens—inas little as one year—could earntheir high school-equivalencydegree, 18 hours of college creditand certification in computernetworking—all for free.Would we help fill thatworkforce need and provide selfsufficient, middle-class family incomes? Absolutely.In a nutshell, that’s the concept behind COD’svariation on a state program called ICAPS (IntegratedCareer and Academic Preparation System), which, inturn, is part of a federal program called AcceleratingOpportunities.The state’s ICAPS website explains the programthis way:“In 2011, Illinois became one of 11 states to receivefunding for the design phase of the AcceleratingOpportunity: A Breaking Through Initiative. TheAccelerating Opportunity initiative is designed tofundamentally change the way adult basic educationis delivered, moving from a system focusing onattainment of the GED or equivalency to one thattransitions students to post-secondary educationcredentialed programs. The initiative is based upon thebelief that post-secondary credentials are the gatewayto family supporting wages.”Each community college selected to participate inICAPS bases its program on current and anticipated
community workforce needs. In District 502, informationtechnology rose to the top. Some skilled manufacturingroles—such as welding—finished a close second.So College of DuPage is now training its secondcohort of computer networking students. In anaccelerated program (as little as one year), thesestudents may earn their GED (high school generalequivalency diploma), 18 hours of college credit, andone of three computer networking certifications.Then, depending on the certification, successfulprogram graduates might expect to earn between 30,000 and 50,000, said Dan Deasy, Manager,Continuing Education Operations and Grant Compliance.And the best news for students, said Deasy, is thata combination of state, federal and private fundingmeans this entire opportunity is free.One interesting outcome of COD’s program is asignificant number of women students.“The perception is that it’s a man’s field,” said MaryClare Sullivan, who co-teaches the ICAPS networkingprogram with COD Associate Professor FelixDavis. “If you look at the statistics, women are veryunderrepresented in this field but to see these womentackle networking and overcome their insecurities isreally, really encouraging. I hope that some day, I canuse them as examples to encourage other women tostudy information technology.”“ The initiative is based uponthe belief that post-secondarycredentials are the gateway tofamily supporting wages.”—Source: State of Illinois ICAPS websiteDavis says men and women alike have great jobprospects if they complete the program successfully.“The IT network field is in high demand,” said Davis.“Statistics have shown that it’s one of the growingopportunities for the next 10 years, so there’s a lot ofopportunities out there. That’s why we targeted thisaudience and focused on networking skills.”Now that the IT networking program is up andrunning, COD is working with local employers toprepare for and launch a manufacturing skills programthat will follow in the future.For more information, visit cod.edu/icapsOr contact:College of DuPage Adult Education425 Fawell Blvd, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137Student Resource Center (SRC), Room 1110(630) 942-3697, GED@cod.eduEngage cod.edu/engageAbove left: Co-instructor Mary Clare Sullivan advises SolomonAbrar on the ICAPS program.

Erna Gevondyan, Energy Systems Risk Analyst at Argonne National Laboratory, with Josie Suterand Nicole Amon. Josie and Nicole gained crucial real-world skills while serving an internshipat Argonne.Paying it Forward COD alum bridges learning with real-world experiencesErna Gevondyan owes her success, in part, to a friendlygame of bridge.As it turns out, luck was on her side all along.COD Physics Professor Tom Carter encouraged Ernato apply for the plum intern assignment at ArgonneNational Laboratory. Learning a new card game was abonus for the young, energetic intern who volunteeredto take a seat at the lunchtime bridge table when theregulars were on vacation.Soon Argonne invited Erna to play on—and work on—as a coop student while completing her studies at COD,where she earned two associate degrees, in both artsand science, as well as a certificate in graphic design.Erna continued her coop work at Argonne while shecompleted her undergraduate work at Illinois Instituteof Technology, earning a bachelor’s degree in computerscience in 2015.That’s when Argonne extended an even better offer,inviting Erna to join its Strategic Alliance for GlobalEnergy Solutions (SAGES) team as a full-time energysystems risk analyst.“My wishful thinking was, of course, like wow, this isa great place. I sure would like to work here,” said Erna,who never imagined this would be her dream job as ayoung girl growing up in the Eastern European country10of Georgia. “Just as much as I feel I got the first initialinternship out of sheer luck, my continuation was evenmore so the case. I got offered this position through agame of bridge, of all things.”Every year, high-caliber students from big-nameengineering schools across the country—Georgia Tech,Photo provided courtesy of Argonne National Laboratory.MIT, Texas A&M, University of California-Berkley—vie for Argonne placements through many programsincluding the Summer Undergraduate LaboratoryInternship (SULI) program, the same way Erna did.After she landed her permanent position, Ernawanted to tap into another impressive pool, creatinga new internship program for the SAGES team andproviding opportunities for rising COD students.
Photo by Diane Smutny/special to College of DuPage“I thought ‘I’m going to make my own program, andI’m going to select students that I know are strongbecause I’ve been through it myself,’” said Erna.“COD’s requirements are rather rigorous, to be inPhysics 2111 and 2112 and to have good grades in it. Iproposed to my supervisor to take students from COD,and of course the first person I contacted was my verysame physics professor.”“ I’m going to select students thatI know are strong because I’vebeen through it myself.”Erna paid her good luck forward in 2017, welcomingCOD students Nicole Amon and Josie Suter as summerinterns in the new program. They were selected froma pool of about a dozen COD students. Erna was soimpressed by their resumes and cover letter that shewished she could hire them all.“I am really grateful for this opportunity. We wereable to work in the field we’re interested in,” saidEngage cod.edu/engageJosie, who is currently enrolled in COD’s EngineeringPathways program. She plans to graduate in Maywith an Associate in Engineering degree then pursueher bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering atUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.Likewise, Nicole is set to graduate in May with anAssociate in Engineering degree, pursue her bachelor’sdegree in mechanical engineering and eventually earna Ph.D. She, too, appreciates the hands-on aspect of theArgonne internship.“When I first started, I was nervous and afraid Iwould mess up,” said Nicole. “All of our supervisorswere very supportive and set such an example that wewanted to be the best for them. With their guidance,I was always where I needed to be and they have trulyhelped me grow as an individual in the professionalenvironment.”Like Erna, Josie and Nicole are now co-op studentsat Argonne, working with the SAGES team while theyfinish their studies at COD.If they’re lucky, Erna may just teach Josie and Nicoleto play bridge.11
