A group of Chicago-area librarians with expertise in employment and career services have joined forces to launch the Lake Cook Career Collaborative. The initiative aims to centralize and amplify the employment-related resources offered by many area libraries.
Job seekers in Illinois’ Lake and Cook counties are encouraged to tap into workshops, online training, and other resources offered by Northbrook, Indian Trails, and Vernon Area public libraries. All offerings are free. No library card is required to take part in the workshops.
A website located at http://CareerCollab.org pulls together an ongoing calendar of online workshops being hosted by the partner libraries.
