The Workforce Equity Initiative (WEI) is a grant program sponsored by the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB). The primary deliverable of this grant is employment after completion of the credential aligned with regional workforce gaps that provides a full-time job paying at least 30 percent above the regional living wage or is on a pathway to a family sustaining wage.
The zip codes are a requirement per the grant, but still reach out as there may be other initiatives and opportunities for you to leverage.
You must be able to attend by no later than Fall 2022. Nonetheless, still reach out as there are many other grants and opportunities at the college.
All programs can be completed in a semester or less.
