CHICAGO (WLS) The Chicago-Cook Workforce Partnership, a training and job resource network, works to place thousands of place every year. I know how it feels to be out of work. I know how it feels to be collecting unemployment. I have been there. I have struggled as a single mom. I have, said electrical apprentice Torian Anderson.
Anderson wanted to work in the construction trades but could not afford to pay for training. Now, she is working as an electrical apprentice with a full-time salary on the massive CTA Red-Purple line modernization project. It s exciting that when I get on the train and I look, I know that these trains are going back and forth and getting people where they have to go safely based off the work that I did and my coworkers and counterparts as well, Anderson said.
