Cook County Career Connector Program
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle launched The Cook County Career Connector on Tuesday, May 24. The Program is comprised of large and small hiring events throughout the county at sites within The Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership’s (The Partnership) network. The Program promotes a more inclusive and equitable economy as Cook County emerges from the pandemic by connecting Cook County residents through meaningful access to quality jobs and connecting Cook County employers to a skilled and diverse talent pool. The Program is funded by federal 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars Cook County is allocating to workforce development. The Program is administered by The Partnership, the designated administrative agency for Chicago and Cook County’s federally funded public workforce system, the largest in the nation. The Program is meant to benefit those who live in Suburban Cook County and who were negatively impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic
When does the program begin?
The program begins Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
