Actively addressing the local need for a qualified, trained and motivated workforce, The Cara Program partners with companies from all industries and of all sizes, including firms such as The Habitat Company, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, ABM Janitorial Services, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Marriott Hotels. Employment partners choose to work with The Cara Program because it is good for the community, and because it creates real value (and cost savings) for their firms as well. Cara students are motivated, trained and ready to work; and like those who have paved the way before them, they continue to thrive on the job - over 72% remain employed at their initial placement for at least one year (a stat that outpaces the national average for the same industries we work in by over 20%).
