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 supported sector partnerships in four industries (health, manufacturing, information technology, and transportation, distribution, and logistics) to train individuals for good jobs. With this funding, CHWC was able to train over 200 Certified Nursing Assistants, and to support a small cohort of frontline clinical employees begin the pathway toward becoming a Registered Nurse.Â
