Customized Training vs. Public Training: Tailored Solutions for Your Team
At the Chicago Jobs Council (CJC), we believe that every organization plays a role in creating an equitable workforce system. Our customized training solutions are designed to empower workforce professionals to better serve job seekers, equipping them with tools to address systemic barriers to employment. Unlike our public training courses, which follow a pre-set schedule and are open to all, customized training offers flexibility and tailored approaches to meet your organization’s unique needs.
