OUR PURPOSE
Why don’t our workplaces look like our neighborhoods? That’s the question that sparked re:work training’s formation in 2016. Since then, our mission has been two-fold: improve employment outcomes for Chicago’s untapped communities and combat the lack of diversity in tech’s workforce in the process.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO:
The first step of that work is to simply acknowledge that the opportunities and resources are not balanced among all of Chicago’s communities. As a result, these communities are filled with untapped Black and Latinx talent that must overcome historic wage imbalances, undervalued housing markets and poorer quality schools.
By empowering our candidates and companies we not only make their dreams a reality, we create a path for future generations to dream.

Where our candidates come from
Think about it. If you’re itching to climb, but the company that you’re with has failed you, if you’re seeking a way out of your routine life, if you’re unhappy with your income, these are all signs that you’re looking to get more from your job and life. re:work training has the means to take you to that next level, and land a gratifying job that exceeds expectation.”
