What is JumpHire?

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
  • Community-based organizations looking to strengthen their communities, through employment opportunities
  • Non-profit organizations interested in improving the health and wealth of Chicago’s South and West Side communities
