Employment Placement Program Supports Chicago Job Seekers
At Employment & Employer Services (E&ES), we do more than just help people find jobs— we help them build careers. Through our Employment Placement Program (EPP), funded by the Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS), we provide job seekers with personalized career coaching, job search support, and connections to great opportunities in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Job Search with Purpose
Shana came to E&ES with a clear goal—she wanted to work in Human Services. She knew the field she wanted to pursue, but she needed help finding the right opportunity. That’s where her Career Coach, Mr. Morrison, stepped in.
Mr. Morrison worked closely with Shana, helping her identify roles that matched her skills and ambitions. He provided career coaching, job search support, and resume assistance to ensure she presented herself as a strong candidate. He also connected her with a local employer looking for someone with her passion and dedication.
The employer saw her potential and hired her as a Residential Monitor. It was the first step in her career journey—but it wasn’t the last.
EPP Supports Your Career Path
At E&ES, our support doesn’t stop at job placement. We know that long-term success requires ongoing guidance. Mr. Morrison continued to check in with Shana, offering encouragement and career advice as she settled into her new role.
Six months later, Shana reached a major milestone, not only achieved her employment goal of 180 days, but she had also been promoted to Case Manager. Her dedication and the support she received from Mr. Morrison helped her move forward in her career.
