Eradicating Poverty Through Workforce Training, Resource Support, Job Placement, And Retention Coaching
Cara Collective seeks to fuel a courageous national movement to eradicate relational and financial poverty. With our four entities, we engage job seekers, employers, and other organizations across the country to break the cycle of poverty through the power and purpose of employment. Cara provides free workforce training, job placement, and personal and professional coaching to pave the way for gainful employment. Cleanslate creates transitional job opportunities and provides communities with litter abatement, graffiti removal, power washing, and landscaping services. Cara Connects sources quality job candidates to fill critical entry-level and temporary positions at leading Chicago-area companies.
