About Illinois Roads Scholar Program

The APWA Chicago Metro Chapter is proud to announce the 2024 APWA Illinois Roads Scholar Program (IRSP) on May 6-10, 2024 at the Keller Convention Center in Effingham, Illinois!

IRSP is designed to meet the training needs for frontline public works employees. This three-year (one week per year) program is designed to train in most aspects of municipal road right-of-way work tasks and is non-sequential so that one may start the three-year cycle at any time.

Registration is $774 and includes classes, materials, breaks and the following meals. Breakfast on Tuesday through Friday; lunch on Tuesday through Thursday; dinner on Monday and Thursday. We are accepting 40 first year registrants and all attendees must be registered by the April 6, 2024 deadline.

For lodging arrangements call the Effingham Holiday Inn and Suites at 217-540-7777 and mention block code "APW" to receive the discounted rates. Do not make reservations on the websites.

Participants who successfully attend all three training years will be designated as an APWA Illinois Roads Scholar and will be recognized at Thursday’s evening picnic.

Make plans to join us May 6-10, 2024 in Effingham, Illinois at the Keller Convention Center for this innovative comprehensive training program.

What they are saying about IRSP

Amazing as it was the past year!

I’m very excited to graduate in 2024.

Great networking and overall good time.

I would want every public works person to be trained through this program.

Steve is a great motivational speaker.

He does a fantastic job inspiring me to bring back things to my organization, make changes in my personal life, and be the best all around myself I can be. This class should be spoken every year.

Program Highlights Include:

  • OSHA 10-Hour Course
  • Pesticide Use/Licensing
  • Plan Sets, Grade Setting, and GIS
  • Live Line Demo
  • Plus much more!
