What’s going on at HIRE360? 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ We had the honor of hosting the Apprenticeship Information Council meeting! It was a powerful gathering of apprenticeship coordinators and community orgs, and pre-apprenticeship providers who are focused on making sure our communities are informed and empowered to pursue opportunities in the trades. Special thanks to our incredible partners at Construction Industry Service Corporation and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for their continued leadership and commitment to building strong career pathways. 💼🔧 #WorkforceDevelopment #CISCO #CPS #SkilledTrades #CommunityImpact (fb)
