In 2018, after nearly a year of unemployment, Jackie came across Skills, who prepared and set her up for an interview with Ulta Beauty. Shortly after interviewing, Jackie was hired as a Beauty Advisor at Ulta Beauty’s Hyde Park location in 2018. Several months later, Jackie was promoted to Merchandising Coordinator. In 2019, she was promoted to Retail Sales Manager.
A full-time student at Chicago State University and soon-to-be married, Jackie is grateful to work at such a high-quality company that gives her the fl exibility and opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
“I would tell anyone that I know that is looking for work to give Skills a look. Skills will be your light - they’ll give you a chance when no one else will.”

After nearly 11 years working an overnight graveyard shift at a casino, Angel was ready for a career change. With a 10-year-old daughter at home, she was determined to � nd a full-time
position that o� ered stability and day-time hours. After months of searching, Angel came in contact with a Skills recruiter, who
helped her prepare for an interview with Bank of America. After interviewing, Angel was hired in a full-time role with potential
for growth. Her work-life balance has vastly improved and Angel can now spend more time with her family.
“Even with the right experience, it’s hard to get into the right company. I love Skills, because they really set the employee up
for the employer.”
Angel Lewis, 35 | Client Services Rep.
Edy Ramirez, 20 | Guest Services Agent
Jennifer Scott, 35 | Patient Access Rep.
After graduating high school, Edy began seeking employment through a variety of avenues before eventually � nding Skills. After connecting with Skills, Edy underwent resume and interview preparation, and was set up to interview with a hiring manager at SMASHotels. After interviewing, Edy was hired as a Guest Services Agent at SMASHotels-operated hotel EMC2. A full-time student at Dominican University, Edy appreciates the � exible schedule and experience that his role with SMASHotels provides.
“I would de� nitley recommend Skills to my friends - the process is pretty seamless and very informative. EMC2 is such a nice place to work, it’s really a step up from the jobs I had as a high school student.”
After struggling to get into the right company, Jennifer came across Skills, who conducted a brief interview preparation
session before connecting her to interview with a hiring manager at NorthShore. Soon after interviewing, Jennifer was hired as a
Patient Access Representative.
Now that she’s landed a permanent, full-time position in the medical � eld, Jennifer has begun to pursue her Master’s degree in Advanced Healthcare, where she hopes to ultimately obtain a role in which she can enhance the patient experience from a
higher level.
“I was very happy with Skills’ hiring process. I’ve already recommended people to Skills because of how e� cient and fast
the hiring process was.”

BEYOND THE DIPLOMA
Career pathways are vital for changing the earning potential and corresponding economic trajectory for young high school graduates. Our holistic approach includes mentoring services and education/credentialing attainment on top of job placement, focused on reducing attrition and satisfying the hiring needs of local employers as they build around their next generation of workers.
Our custom jobs curriculum and programming has been expanded beyond local high schools and is now being used by businesses and youth programs aimed at � lling the job-readiness and soft skills gap many individuals face as they enter workforce or move up at a company.

BEYOND THE DIPLOMA
Aijalon Jadduah, 26 | Career Pathway Program
Before joining the McDonald’s career pathway program, Aijalon was stuck in a role with virtually no opportunities to develop her career. This setback led to her pursuit of higher education, which
proved to be quite di� cult when considering the cost and time commitment. Finally, Aijalon discovered the Skills/McDonald’s Beyond the Diploma program, allowing her to start a career while
simultaneously to earning a degree.
“I was very frustrated during my current job – after I quit, I was very unsure of my career goals.” “I felt so much relief when I found the McDonald’s/Skills program. I was able to get my degree and
start a career at the same time – I � nally feel like I’m on the right track.”
Matthew Leonard, 23 | Jr. Software Developer
Upon graduating college with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Matthew knew he wanted to enter the tech industry, but he wasn’t sure which specialty he wanted to pursue. Ideally, Matthew wanted to join a company with lots of opportunity for career development and growth. This was no easy feat for a recent grad, especially considering the competitiveness of his chosen � eld – over the course of three months, Matthew was still � nding it very di� cult to land a job. Finally, Matthew found his way into the tech industry after he came across Skills, who set him up for an interview with Kin + Carta, who hired him as a Junior Software Developer shortly after interviewing.
“The Skills recruiter was extremely insightful, and really calmed my nerves for the interview with Kin + Carta.” “I would de� nitely recommend Skills and their U2.0 program to a recent grad.”

THE ROAD AHEAD
Dear Supporters, Partners, and Friends:
Upon completing our seventh year, it is important to re� ect on the impact jobs have had on unemployed and underemployed individuals and communities across the Chicagoland area. Since our launch in 2012 our impact has grown year over year, and in 2019, this impact reached new heights as we crossed the 7,000 lives-changed threshold. Without question, this noteworthy achievement would not have been reached without the extraordinary support of our employer partners, funders, donors, nonpro� t partners, the leadership of our Board of Directors, and our devoted sta� .
In 2019, we continued to combat the misleading narrative of “full employment.” Low aggregate unemployment rates are not re� ective of the many neighborhoods in Chicago – particularly on the South and West sides – where communities face substantial unemployment and poverty rates. We know the full employment narrative is false, and our focus remains on reducing barriers to employment and placing as many individuals into jobs as possible.
With this focus in mind, we are strategically extending our physical presence by launching a plan for new locations on Chicago’s South and West sides in the coming years. This expansion initiative, Skills Neighborhood Link, was announced at the 2019 Employment Champions Breakfast. These new locations will allow us to provide residents with better access to jobs.
On the road ahead in 2020 and beyond, we’re excited to quickly and progressively grow our impact, especially within Chicago’s most economically underserved neighborhoods. All of you play a vital role in this e� ort, and we greatly appreciate your continued support of our mission to get the unemployed and underemployed into a job for the � rst time, or back to work.
We look forward to expanding and strengthening our partnerships and impact in 2020 and beyond.
