HIRE360 Partners

Great to be with the Governor JB Pritzker Pritzker again for another exciting quantum announcement! So many of our partners - Related Midwest, Clayco, Chicago Federation of Labor , and Illinois Valley AFL-CIO, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, P33 Chicago, and Current - on this game changing investment on the east side.

Construction Industry Service Corporation (CISCO) sponsored event, Held at International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW)’s hall off MLK drive. Candidates were seeking carriers in the trades. Featured union trades from Teamsters, Operating Engineers, Pipefitters, and IBEW. Well attended and enjoyable.

Thank you, Chicago Workforce Funders Alliance https://lnkd.in/ekwA8R_u, for hosting a great discussion at our training center as part of their quarterly Clean Infrastructure Workforce Series.

Thank you to the 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee for hosting our Illinois Works pre-apprenticeship ( https://lnkd.in/gScu7Yye ) candidates for a tour of their constitution site at the United Center in Chicago on August 19th-August 22nd. A big thank you to McHugh Construction and their partners who took our candidates to see the work being done. On the tour candidates asked questions of project managers to get a better understanding of all the work that goes into a project like this one.

Thank you to CBS 2 for getting to know one of our awesome candidates, Nicholas Gamino, now a second-year apprentice with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) local 143. Thank you to Illinois Works for helping support his pre-apprenticeship training. He is working on Related Midwest ‘s Roosevelt Square project. Stay tuned to watch the story soon!

HIRE360 is thrilled to announce that our workforce program will be going statewide thanks to a grant announced today by Governor JB Pritzker! Awesome event hosted by the Steans Family Foundation at the Filmore Center (https://lnkd.in/e-VTCW98). We look forward to working with our partner on the Climate Works Pre-Apprenticeship Program, the 548 Enterprise Foundation, to help prepare diverse candidates for great jobs in union clean energy construction.

Yesterday we helped kick off the first ever Laborer's Trainee Program in collaboration with Laborers, Local 1001, Chicago Public Schools, and the city of Chicago's Streets and Sanitation Department. These 70 recent graduates will do 10 weeks paid training and finish as members of the union with their fees fully paid by HIRE360! They were congratulated by all - including our mayor Brandon Johnson

Thank you to Chair Evans (https://www.repevans.com/) for his inspiring remarks about the important of businesses training the next generation of workers and to the Chicago Federation of Labor Workforce and Community Initiative (https://cflinitiative.org/) for their informative discussion on two great incentive programs they offer to encourage businesses to hire new workers.

Thank you, Governor JB Pritzker, for inviting HIRE360 to the signing of Business Development Omnibus Package which focuses on Quantum Incentives. A big thank you to President Drea and the IL AFL-CIO for all their efforts to advocate for good jobs as part of this historic package.

“To know that this is happening, gives me the confidence to move forward … I can’t express how proud I am of you all. And hope this is not the last time I’ll be seeing you.” ~ Alderman Ronnie Mosley. Thank you Alderman for meeting our candidates working with Habitat for Humanity Chicago !
