Des Moines County CEO Program to Launch in Fall 2026, Expanding Regional Opportunities

BURLINGTON, Iowa – October 2, 2025 – Des Moines County will launch the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) Program in August 2026, joining Lee County as one of only two Iowa communities offering this nationally recognized initiative.

The CEO Program immerses high school juniors and seniors (from all Des Moines County school districts) in real-world business experiences, holding classes in local businesses, connecting students with community leaders, and guiding them to create and run their own ventures. Students also earn college credit through Southeastern Community College.

“This program transforms high school students into confident, creative leaders while strengthening our workforce for the future,” said Teli Van Rycke, Regional Director of Workforce Innovation at the Greater Burlington Partnership and Lee County Economic Development Group . We are grateful for the incredible support of our local businesses and community, whose investment makes this opportunity possible.”

The CEO Program was developed by the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship, a national organization dedicated to fostering youth entrepreneurship. Through its hands-on approach, the program has reached over 75 communities and 350 schools across the country, engaging 2,841 investors and impacting more than 60,000 students nationwide in the last 18 years.

Early contributors supporting Des Moines County CEO include:

Founding/Impact Investors:
Energyficient Lighting Systems, Inc.; F&M Bank & Trust; Fusion Tech Integrated; Kiwanis of Burlington, Iowa.

Investors:
Afinitas; Anderson, Roberts, Porth, Wallace, Stewart & Werner LLP; Big River Resources; Carl A.

"What I really appreciate about working with ICM is how well they collaborate. They know how to bring the right people together, leverage each other's strengths, and develop the best solutions for their customers. There's a real sense of mutual trust, and that makes all the difference."
