- YJC collaborates with many organizations to create shared placement opportunities. Some organizations, like Skills for Chicagoland, funnel youth-centered job opportunities directly to YJC. Both organizations keep in close contact about job placements and share information openly with each other to reach positive outcomes, provide feedback, and support to one another.
- YJC participates in a peer-to-peer network where they share opportunities with other organizations, and support others in the ecosystem with trainings, workshops, and hiring events.
- Occasionally, partner organizations secure funding for long-term internships, full-time placements, or other specialized opportunities. When possible, YJC collaborates with these organizations.
- When collaborating with other organizations on a hiring event, YJC provides work readiness training for the partner organization’s participants, if needed, to ensure that all participants are prepared to engage with employers.
