Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced the launch of The Cook County Career Connector Program. The Program consists of hiring events at sites within The Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership’s (The Partnership) network. The Career Connector Program promotes a more inclusive and equitable economy as Cook County emerges from the pandemic by connecting residents to quality jobs and connecting employers to a skilled and diverse talent pool. Funding for the Career Connector Program is being provided as part of a $15 million investment by Cook County, using dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act, for programs and services provided by the Partnership. Employers and job seekers interested in participating in the Career Connector program can register for an upcoming event at CookCountyCareerConnect.org. Approximately 30 employers and at least 200 job seekers are expected at each event. Job seekers should bring at least 15 copies of their resume, dress appropriately, and be prepared to interview.
