CEC-Communities Empowered Through Construction.

CEC-Communities Empowered Through Construction. THE CEC Program Mission is to build a bridge between public officials, community needs and economic growth via the construction industry.

The CEC understands the commitment that Public Servants make to their constituents. When there is economic growth in their communities, it is ideal for members of their communities to be involved in that economic growth. Our goal is to work within these communities to develop and prepare their residents to SUCCESSFULLY participate in the community hiring efforts made on behalf of the construction projects. By managing the community hiring and outreach on projects Developers and Public Servants have assurance that there is adequate level of community participation. Fostering a wonderful partnership between Community Residents, Public Officials/Servants and Developers. THE CEC has an ongoing database of residents all over the city of Chicago, that have been screened, interviewed and have gone through a behavior modification training, if necessary, that are prepared and eager to work in their communities. We also work with community organizations to provide training and assist with developing candidates. In addition, we host Minority Contractor Meet and Greets to insure that we have access to community businesses. We have found that the database and the Meet and Greets insure that we have a pool of qualified construction candidates and minority contractors available for referrals. Please see the dates below and register for upcoming Meet & Greet.
