Revolution Workshop

06/03/2026

We’re grateful to have welcomed Brooke DeRenzis, CEO of the National Skills Coalition, to Revolution Workshop’s East Garfield Park workshop.

Together, we discussed the importance of creating workforce systems that expand opportunity, strengthen communities and connect talented individuals to careers that offer long-term economic mobility.

At RW, we see firsthand what happens when people are given access to training, support and a clear pathway into the skilled trades. The determination has always been there but the opportunity has not.

That’s why we’re thankful for organizations like the National Skills Coalition, whose advocacy and leadership help advance policies that make workforce development more equitable and responsive to the needs of workers and employers alike.

Thank you to Brooke and the NSC team for taking the time to visit and learn about our work to spotlight the incredible potential that exists in Chicago’s West and South Side communities. We are proud to stand alongside partners who believe that where you come from should never determine how far you can go.
