About this Event

You’re Invited: North Lawndale Workforce Open House & Listening Session


What does good work look like in North Lawndale—and what stands in the way of getting there?

Join neighbors, local organizations, employers, and community leaders for an open, welcoming conversation about jobs, workforce opportunities, and economic stability in our community. This Open House is designed first and foremost as a listening space—a chance for residents to share their experiences, needs, and ideas related to employment, training, and career pathways in North Lawndale.

Whether you’re:

  • Looking for work or better job opportunities
  • Supporting family members navigating employment
  • Running a small business or organization
  • Interested in shaping workforce priorities in the neighborhood

Your voice belongs in the room.

Attendees can expect:

  • A relaxed, come-as-you-are environment
  • Opportunities to share feedback and lived experiences
  • Information about local workforce resources and partners
  • Space to connect with organizations and employers committed to North Lawndale

This event is hosted by the North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council Workforce Subcommittee as part of its relaunch and renewed commitment to centering community input before setting priorities for the year ahead.

Light refreshments will be provided. No preparation required—just bring yourself and your perspective.

We’re not here to talk at the community. We’re here to listen.
