We were thrilled to host the JPMorganChase team for a tour of the #AspireCenter for Workforce Innovation that will be opening in Spring 2025 at the corner of Madison & Central Ave in Chicago's Austin community! Learn more about the Center and the on-site job training it'll offer through JARC Training, plus the employment services and other supports from Westside Health Authority, at https://lnkd.in/gKdrv5SS
I remember meeting with Darnell Shields, Executive Director of Austin Coming Together (ACT) in 2021 and hearing about his vision of The Aspire Center for the West side of Chicago. Fast forward just a few years and I am just so proud of him and the ACT team. What an absolutely beautiful building (even in the construction phase!) that our JPMorganChase teams had the privilege to tour and support! There will be incredible resources and organizations calling the space home and serving the greater community. We can't wait for the grand opening!
