Chicago Education Advocacy Cooperative Helps Students
A local organization helps students gain access to employment opportunities through upskilling. The Chicago Education Advocacy Cooperative (ChiEAC) was founded by Dr. Benjamin Drury in 2020. Drury was working at an institution where students voiced their concerns about issues they were having, Drury attempted to direct the students to the appropriate institutional resources, only to find out that they did not exist within the institution’s infrastructure.
