1000 Jobs Campaign

Creating jobs in chicago

Welcome

Building Chicagoland’s Advanced Manufacturing Workforce

The 1000 Jobs Campaign was a demand-driven workforce development program that placed 1,000 qualified job seekers on career pathways in manufacturing and linked residents to training programs that resulted in full-time employment in the Chicagoland area.

1000 Jobs was a pilot project originally launched by World Business Chicago that actively placed job seekers from January 2015 through March 2026. Throughout the pilot, 1,000+ Chicagoland area job seekers were placed on a career pathway in manufacturing.
