OUR PURPOSE

Why don’t our workplaces look like our neighborhoods? That’s the question that sparked re:work training’s formation in 2016. Since then, our mission has been two-fold: improve employment outcomes for Chicago’s untapped communities and combat the lack of diversity in tech’s workforce in the process.

OUR IMPACT

It only takes one to lead. It only takes one company to pave the way to a more diverse workforce, and it only takes one candidate to jumpstart their career and become a role model in their neighborhood. re:work is building the bridge between tech and Chicago’s untapped talent, changing the face of tech and lifting up our communities one success story at a time.

OUR VALUES

Serve the community.
Adopt a growth mindset.
Make altruistic decisions.
Use your voice authentically.
