WTC expands paid employment opportunities for young adults with disabilities in Chicagoland

Breaking down employment barriers for young adults with autism, learning disabilities and developmental disabilities. People with disabilities can have great success in the workplace when they have the right supports and are given a chance. Working Together Chicago provides that opportunity and support through job development, short-term job coaching and long-term mentoring. Working Together Chica

go creates paid employment opportunities for people with disabilities throughout the Chicagoland area. OUR VISION
Despite the fact that the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed more than 25 years ago, people with disabilities still struggle to access employment. More than 70% of people with disabilities are un/underemployed, and many live in poverty because of over-reliance on governmental support. WTC is convinced that the way to bridge the current employment gap is by working together across sectors with the common goal of generating new approaches that re-imagine what is possible!

Lena had the opportunity to attend the Evergreen Park Library’s Job Fair this past weekend! 🎉

We invited several of our WTC job seekers to join us so we could support them in navigating the event and connecting with employers that align with their goals and skill sets. Lena also had the chance to meet individuals who are currently seeking support on their employment journey.

With over 200 attendees and a great lineup of employers and community agencies, the event created meaningful opportunities for job seekers of all kinds.

Thank you to the Evergreen Park Library for the invitation—we had a fantastic time and look forward to future collaborations! 👏

Community Partners Matter!

Meet WTC job seeker Shannan. Shannan is an active job seeker and a dedicated college student — balancing it all isn’t easy!

She recently had an appointment scheduled with the WTC team to review her job search progress, but ran into an unexpected obstacle: her crutches broke, making it unsafe for her to leave the house — especially in winter conditions.

Thanks to our incredible partners at , we were able to quickly connect and secure a new pair. Shannan made it to her appointment and knocked out several job applications!

We are so grateful for strong community partnerships that help remove barriers and keep our job seekers moving forward. 💙
