Cook County Bureau of Economic Development

The Bureau collects employer information through multiple channels, including direct website inquiries, referrals from other county departments, and partner organizations like World Business Chicago. They maintain comprehensive documentation of company background, hiring needs, training requirements, geographic preferences, and participation in special programs such as TIFworks.

The organization has recently adopted the Rise Kit platform to track employer engagement and outcomes, demonstrating their commitment to modernizing their information collection and management processes..
