CHICAGO ALDERMANIC BLACK CAUCUS DRAWS OVER 1000 CITIZENS TO THE 2ND ANNUAL CITY OF CHICAGO JOB FAIR AT MALCOM X COLLEGE


CHAIRMAN STEPHANIE COLEMAN VIEWS THE EVENT AS A MAJOR STEPPING STONE TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY PAYROLL HAS PARITY IN ITS FUTURE

 

(Chicago, IL) Alderman Stephanie Coleman-Chairman of the Chicago Aldermanic Black Caucus- was joined by her fellow Black Caucus colleagues as they successfully hosted the 2nd Annual City of Chicago and Chicago Aldermanic Black Caucus job fair. The event was held to allow Chicago residents to explore entry level and above exclusive career opportunities within the City of Chicago and its affiliated agencies. The event was held on Saturday, February 21st, at Malcolm X College. Over 1000 Chicago residents arrived as early as 8am to line up as they presented their resume and credentials to numerous city of Chicago agencies.

“We are all honored, grateful, and appreciative of Mayor Johnson for embracing the vision of the Black Caucus in spearheading this event. Chicago has a working class that is as talented or more than most big cities throughout the nation. This event allowed the city with broad shoulders to keep our talent within the confines of our government.” says Alderman Coleman.

The Black Caucus is most grateful for the splendid partnership with YWCA, Deputy Mayor of Public Safety, Garien Gatewood, and various other workforce agencies for ensuring that this year's event was best in class.

Alderman David Moore added, "For the second year our caucus has made it clear to residents that this government belongs to the people and it should always be a beacon of hope for those qualified persons who have something to contribute back to their government. Moreover, it's imperative that we attract the most talented individuals to build their careers right here in the greatest city in the world."

"As a community we are grateful to Chairwoman Coleman and the full Chicago Aldermanic Black Caucus for their unwavering concern and support to our residents. I have lived in Chicago my entire life, but I have never witnessed this government attempt to attract our people to the payroll of the city of Chicago. This is a blessing to our community and city at large." says Bishop Larry D. Trotter of the Sweet Holy Spirit Church of Chicago.
