Workers with HS diploma and above are less likely to be on gov’t support, saving states and federal gov’t money. Adult Education supports jobs and the economy. #AEFLWeek #adulted

Our own Welding Instructor Lauren was there to celebrate the inaugural class of Influential Women in Manufacturing at the Smart Industry Conference in Chicago this week. https://www.plantservices.com/articles/2018/22-industry-leading-women-you-should-know/ #freeweldingtraining

JARC is proud to be at the table! Let's hear it for digital learners and instructors!

Lilia first came to JARC for computer classes. Then she signed up for one-on-one tutoring to work on reading comprehension and fluency. She also worked with tutors on math, writing, and workforce development goals. Her reading score increased by one grade level and her math score by nearly two. She loved creative writing. Then she enrolled in JARC's Manufacturing Bridge Training program. After deciding manufacturing was not a good career fit, she was accepted into an Administrative Support training program. The fundamental skills she gained during her time at JARC helped make her #jobready. #AEFLWeek #AdultEd

Did you know adult education began with the Civil Rights Movement? Watch this video to see how literacy efforts prepared Black Southerners to become leaders in the movement. https://bit.ly/2OdQJFy #AEFLWeek

Adult workplace literacy programs help workers gain new levels of skills as new demands arise. At JARC we celebrate Adult Education and Family Literacy Week. Our tutoring is free! #AEFLWeek

When people can’t afford thousands of dollars in tickets, Chicago slams residents with excessive #FinesandFees, then takes their driver’s licenses if they fall behind on payments. But no license = no way to work = no way out of debt. We believe in fair and equitable policies that support all families regardless of their income level. That's why we're advocating for the #License2Work Act. Learn more at license2work.org #DrivenIntoDebt #StopSuspendingLives

Trainees and instructors enjoyed visiting the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. JARC's President Guy Loudon was a guest speaker at Modern Machine Shop's Workforce Development panel.

Every single job is a celebration! Lacie got a welding job with RedBox Workshop earning $18/hour! Congratulations! #mfgjobs #weldingtraining

A great headline and article that follows Women Who Weld, a nonprofit that offers a welding training program for women in Detroit.

Last week JARC visited Technology & Manufacturing Association's training facility in Schaumburg. If you're a local manufacturer looking to strengthen your team or grow your business, TMA has great resources! Learn more at www.tmaillinois.org

"If you're ready to take steps to make a change in your life and be ready for accountability, because JARC does not play, this is the place to be." Enjoy the rest of JARC's new video featuring welding graduate Toncé and senior director Emily on the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation's website.

Alexis got the job! This welding graduate is now a Press Brake Operator at Focal Point. Congratulations Alexis! #igotthejob
