Chicago, IL - re:work training has again reiterated their goal of helping the intelligent and motivated individuals in the underserved communities of Chicago by linking them with companies that need a strong, talented and diverse workforce, the non-profit has partnered with Hirevue. The goal of the strategic partnership is to underrepresented groups get jobs in the technology software industry, using popular artificial intelligence (AI).

The case is not particularly different in Chicago, especially in underserved communities. This is where re:work training is looking to make a difference with the partnership with Hirevue.
