Good Jobs Challenge Grant
In 2022, CHWC, in partnership with more than 10 other Chicagoland organizations led by the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership, was awarded the Economic Development Administration’s Good Jobs Challenge Grant. The grant supports sector partnerships in four industries (health, manufacturing, information technology, and transportation, distribution, and logistics) to train individuals for good jobs. With this funding, CHWC will be able to increase staff capacity and deploy approximately $2 million in training dollars. A Nursing Assistant pathway program to train and up-skill Nursing Assistants is currently in the design phase.
