In Chicago, we work alongside the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership to provide a variety of free services and resources to Job Seekers and Employers. For Job Seekers, our Basic Services are open to all. Individualized and Training Services are available for low-income individuals and dislocated workers. Beginning with Job Readiness Workshops, we conduct training to provide customers with the skills needed to obtain employment. Customers are welcome to use our Resource Room featuring computers, phone, fax machine, Job Board and access to our hiring events. For Employers, WHWC offers services at no cost to your business.
