A Big Win for Chicago's Southside and Illinois! #Illinois #ILChamber
CEO | Builder of Brands, Teams, High Performing Companies, and Ecosystems | Board Director & Advisor | Best Selling Author | Keynote Speaker
A Huge Win for the Southside! Since 1993, the Southworks property has been relegated to the days of yonder and the Southside has struggled to recover. This latest announcement is a great first step of many to build out a bright future for the Southworks property and the Southside as a whole, many thanks to Gov. JB Pritzker for his vision of bringing this to Illinois. Investment in the community is critical and PsiQuantum is a great partner for this. Just blocks away we are building the new campus for EPIC Academy a learning institution that is focused on career intensives and workforce development options for the future.

Great community impact initiative from chamber member Zurich Insurance. Apprenticeships are a viable factor in workforce development initiatives, their collaborative sector-wide approach is building the next gen of workforce for their industry. #ILChamber #ILChamberspotlight #workforcedevelopment #Zurich
Celebrating 2,000 apprenticeships created across Chicagoland! Since 2017, the Chicago Apprentice Network has grown from three founding companies — Zurich, Aon and Accenture — to more than 110 companies building their future-ready workforce and empowering new talent with the help of apprenticeship. We celebrated the 2k milestone at Accenture’s Chicago headquarters with our CEO Kristof Terryn, our Executive Sponsor of Apprenticeship Al Crook, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Brent Parton, Accenture Senior Managing Director Beth Marrion, Aon Chairman of the Board Lester B. Knight and the undisputed stars of the stage, Zurich apprentice Aaron Henry, Aon apprentice graduate Gabriela Caballero and Accenture apprentice graduate John Williams. The network model has spread to other cities now too, helping more companies and more individuals discover the value of apprenticeship. “We’ve just barely scratched the surface,” Kristof said. We look forward to celebrating the next milestone! #Apprenticeship #Insurance
