Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Illinois Central College will serve as the system lead entity and backbone organization for a new Information Technology sector partnership aimed at strengthening Central Illinois's economy. The project will partner with over 40 companies, including Accenture, JP Morgan Chase, I3 Broadband, and OSF Healthcare, providing the skilled technology and cybersecurity professionals needed to strengthen and grow large and small employers.
Many of these employers have not only signed letters committing to hire trainees but also to provide wraparound services to those going through training. With plans to start training low-income residents as early as high school, the awardee will build a pipeline of skilled workers to enter high-paying jobs in the field.
With a focus on equity, Illinois Central College will also partner with several community-based organizations, including Goodwill Industries, METEC, and the Tri-County Urban League.
