The Employment Champions Breakfast is our premier fundraising event, bringing together business and community leaders committed to creating pathways to employment. This event celebrates the collective impact of our partners and highlights the strategies that drive meaningful workforce solutions in Chicago.

This year’s theme This Work Can’t Wait is a call to action rooted in urgency, commitment, and collective responsibility. At a time when economic mobility, equity, and access are not guaranteed, we cannot afford to pause or slow down. The work of protecting opportunity and advancing Chicago’s workforce is happening now.
