Support will be used to expand the Austin Workforce Collaborative (AWC), a group of Austin-focused organizations who have a shared goal to see more Austin residents connected to jobs with wages that can support a family. Chicago’s Austin community is majority Black with a growing LatinX population. The pandemic has affected Austin more than other areas and has worsened challenges like access to living wage careers. Currently, the unemployment rate in Austin is 13% compared to 8% for the city of Chicago (according to cmap.illinois.gov). The AWC envisions a career-ready Austin workforce and is instrumental in connecting residents to resources and opportunities for job training and employment. This directly responds to the community’s “Austin Forward. Together.” quality-of-life plan and its goal to support revitalization in and by Austin.
