Introducing Workforce Development Opportunities (CFL)

  • When presenting the grants and programs that employers are eligible for, CFL ensures that employers are aware of the opportunities that are available in the broader workforce ecosystem, particularly in terms of recruitment efforts and accessing job leads from workforce organizations. 
  • CFL primarily offers opportunities to employers in Cook County. When employers from other counties are referred to CFL, the Business Services Coordinator may connect the employer with a workforce partner in another county. 
  • When conducting outreach activities, CFL has a standard PowerPoint presentation and handouts that provide employers with details about workforce services and benefits.
