Workforce Development

About

The City of Evanston’s Workforce Development Division aims to support local businesses and develop a diverse, skilled workforce by empowering, educating, training, and equipping participants with the skills required to obtain sustainable career and advancement opportunities leading to economic prosperity in Evanston.

Priorities:

• Expand workforce opportunities for underserved populations in the City of Evanston and the broader community, particularly those aged 18 to 30.

• Reduce barriers that prevent job seekers from successfully entering the workforce by empowering Evanston's underserved community members who are unemployed, underemployed, have disabilities, or reentering citizens impacted by the carceral system.

• Enhance public-private partnerships through better connectivity and alignment.

• Increase the opportunities for Minority and Women-owned businesses (MWDEBEs) to thrive and grow in Evanston.
