⭐️ Welcome to #ThinkChicago NEXT 2024 by World Business Chicago, with ComEd, Microsoft, Salesforce, and 1871! 👏 Thank you Mayor Brandon Johnson for kicking off day one! 💡ThinkChicago by World Business Chicago: WBC’s flagship #talent program. With anchor partners City Colleges of Chicago and University of Illinois System, we lead a series of career development, immersion, and preparation events to connect local talent with innovative #Chicagoland companies and startups. In recent years: World Business Chicago’s #ThinkChicago program distributed resumes books to 160+ local companies for their hiring and talent needs. ✅ Our student cohort: majority women, majority students of color, and represent more than 30 unique #Chicagoland universities and colleges. This week, our students will hear from our city’s leading innovators and technologists, learn more from local companies hiring via our #ThinkChicago showcase and tours, and attend career development and preparation workshops. This is part of World Business Chicago’s collective work in building a diverse and vibrant workforce to help local companies scale and thrive. Our pitch for young people: to live, work, and play right here in your hometown, with amazing local companies. 🚀 Thank you to our presenting sponsors ComEd (Gil C. Quiniones, Laticia Dezell Holbert, Max Leichtman) and Microsoft (Nisaini R.), with sponsors Salesforce Cheryl Munroe, Christina Meitus) and 1871 (Lydia Walters). We’re so grateful to our anchor partners: City Colleges of Chicago (Juan Salgado, Eric B. Lugo) and University of Illinois System (Rashid Bashir, Jed Taylor, Brenna Conway). 💫 And none of this would be possible without our rockstar #ThinkChicago team led by Trenton Dunn and Manleen Rajput! ⬇️ Learn more via link in comments. 📍Salesforce Tower #Chicago
