Your success

is our mission.

We are the Workforce Development Division of the DuPage County government and your local American Job Center. We connect job seekers to training and career resources and help businesses find and develop skilled talent. Our no-cost services support a stronger local workforce and help residents build stable, meaningful careers.

ATTENTION SNAP RECIPIENTS

Federal SNAP rules now require some adults ages 18–64 to complete at least 80 hours of work, training, or approved volunteer activity each month unless they qualify for an exemption. Job Ready IL is a free online program that can help you complete qualifying activities, build job skills, and protect your SNAP eligibility.
