On, 4/26/2010 Illinois Governor Pat Quinn announced Put Illinois to Work (PIW) program a State, Federal Plan that Seeks to Create More Than 15,000 Jobs, aimed at building a healthy workforce by putting unemployed and underemployed Illinois residents back to work.
"Put Illinois to Work will provide good-paying jobs that will help support families and strengthen communities," said Governor Pat Quinn. "The program will also assist in building a workforce that possesses the skills, abilities and experiences that Illinois employers need to remain competitive in the U.S. and global marketplace."
Put Illinois to Work is a collaborative effort of the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and Heartland Human Care Services (HHCS). Funding is provided through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Emergency Contingency Fund (ECF), which was created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Please check out the Put Illinois to Work website www.PutIllinoistoWork.Illinois.gov to see how easy it is for employers and workers to apply. So far response has been fantastic. I would like your help to invite your constituents to take advantage of this opportunity for employers who may need to hire new workers, but are nervous to take the chance in an unsure economy. Illinois taxpayers will benefit as well as employers and workers from PIW because it provides incentives for everyone to go to work. When people are done with their temporary job, they’re more likely to get another one. That means they’re contributing to the tax structure and less dependent on social services. Thanks.
