The Chicago Jobs Council is an organization that works with its members to ensure access to employment and career advancement opportunities for people in poverty. Through advocacy, applied research, capacity-building, and public education, CJC aims to influence the development or reform of public policies and programs that guide and support welfare-to-work, workforce development, economic development and other initiatives that lead to jobs. We carry out our mission through a “working group process”: in monthly meetings, members identify and refine the issues where action is needed and likely to produce beneficial results for our constituents. Members and staff then analyze the issues, determine strategies, and carry out plans cooperatively, often engaging other coalitions and partners.
