ABOUT THE CFL WORKFORCE AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVE

CFL Workforce and Community Initiative connects job seekers to employers throughout Chicagoland. We offer programs to give job seekers the tools and training they need to be successful. Employers tap into our pool of skilled and screened workers who have the work experience to contribute to a company’s growth. We work with companies to implement training programs and provide them with funding to ensure their workers have competitive skills.

As active partners in workforce development, we identify issues, develop solutions and share best practices from what we learn from job seekers and employers. We advocate for strengthening worker training and creating long lasting relationships with employers.
