2023 Employment Champions Breakfast

On October 4th, we hosted our Annual Employment Champions Breakfast at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk. We honored our partners, cheered on the hard work of our job seekers, and celebrated the new chapter of Skills.

Congratulations to the 2023 Awardees!

Champion for the Unemployed

This award is given to an employer partner that has hired a significant number of placements through Skills, provides quality job opportunities, and retains the talent it hires while also serving as an overall corporate advocate.

Advocate for the Unemployed

The award is given to a community or non-corporate partner of Skills who has served as an advocate for the unemployed and a champion of Skills. The awardee must be a strong referral partner and be a collaborator with Skills to drive results.

Champion for Community Impact

This award is given to a partner who demonstrates support for Skills and has taken significant steps to infuse their business operations into Chicago’s community, leading by example and focusing on creating positive local change in underinvested neighborhoods.
