JumpHire’s mission is to eliminate barriers to employment for those without college degrees. We provide access to the training, support, and connections necessary to find employment in careers that offer family-sustaining wages. JumpHire accomplishes this by partnering with:

  • Employers looking to diversify their workforce
  • Industry-specific training programs seeking highly motivated candidates
  • Grassroots organizations looking to strengthen their community through employment opportunities
  • Non-profit organizations interested in improving the health and wealth of Chicago’s South and West Side communities
