What
is Career Seekers?
 Career Seekers is
designed to provide assistance in
employment and academic success through
skill-building activities, connection to
the workplace, and ongoing workplace
mentoring and support. The main
component of the Career Seekers program
is a work experience. The program
then combines this work experience with
career leadership skill training,
assistance with academic skills
improvement, and workplace mentoring.
Our members of Career Seekers have been
strategically placed at many of the top
companies in the Joliet area. Contact us
today to enroll in a program that will
change your life.
