About This Event

As the Chicago Transit Authority’s workforce needs continue to grow, we invite you to attend a 2-hour, in-person community outreach event to learn more about workforce opportunities on CTA contracts, engage with CTA workforce partner agencies, and connect with construction contractors and building trades (trade unions).

The event will feature a presentation providing information about current and upcoming projects, contractors involved and how to apply for current and upcoming employment opportunities. The presentation will be followed by a networking session for attendees to speak directly with contractors, unions, and workforce agencies involved on the project.
