"I have been employed for 16 years. I now own a house, three cars, my financial situation is great. I helped my children through school. I have two adult sons who have good jobs—they never miss work. Most of all, I take pride in myself and anything I try to accomplish. I cannot thank Suburban Job-Link enough for giving me the opportunity to represent them with pride, respect, and dignity."
—Velma used Suburban Job-Link as a springboard to full-time employment with an international manufacturing company in 1986.

Suburban Job-Link Corp.

Our mission: to provide opportunity for a better life through appropriate employment for those disenfranchised from the mainstream economy.

Suburban Job-Link Corp. is an award-winning, Chicago-based organization helping people cope with the firestorm of change in the "new economy." Founded in 1970, the organization is nationally recognized for leading-edge innovation in transitional employment and commuter transportation programming.

Business partners of Suburban Job-Link's CoreTemp service benefit from more than 30 years of experience in the temporary staffing business. Temporary staffing customers are encouraged to offer direct-hire employment to qualified workers assigned to their worksite. There is no waiting period and no fee of any kind. Business customers and clients alike can try out the Working Interview, a REAL assessment of the match between and employer and a worker. The STRIVE/Chicago program provides intensive classroom job preparation, placement assistance and long-term retention services.

As a social entrepreneurship venture, Suburban Job-Link covers more than 75% of its operating expenses with earned income. This affords philanthropic investors significant leverage on the impact of grants and contributions.
