OLIVET NAZARENE UNIVERSITYWith more than 140 fields of study and enrollment of more than 5,000, ONU is ranked as one of the Best Colleges for 2018 by “U.S. News & World Report.” This is the Bourbonnais university’s 13th consecutive year for inclusion on this prestigious list.

ONU’s ABET-accredited Martin D. Walker School of Engineering has seen strong growth over the last decade, now offering nine concentrations, including Architectural, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Mechanical and Software engineering. New for 2018-19: Data Science program and Cybersecurity Defense concentration.

KANKAKEE COMMUNITY COLLEGEKCC awards associate degrees, associate in applied science degrees and certificates of completion. Through its office of Corporate and Continuing Education and its Division of Adult and Community Education, KCC offers custom recruitment and training programs to meet the specific needs of area businesses and industries, including workforce development.

KCC operates the Manufacturing & Industrial Technology Center (MITC), which imparts the fabrication; machine tool; welding; millwright; and transportation, warehousing, distribution and logistics skills required by our area’s advanced manufacturers. In 2018, the college launched the first cohort of its Registered Apprenticeship program in Industrial Machinery.

KCC’s award-winning and nationally certified electrical technology program, in part, prepares students for real-world jobs in the emerging solar, wind and geothermal industries. The program has begun to build a pipeline of

qualified workers for EDF Renewable Energy’s local Pilot Hill and Kelly Creek wind farms. KCC’s renewable energy programming is housed at the newly completed Advanced Technology Education Center.

KANKAKEE AREA CAREER CENTERKACC aims to meet the vocational/ technical education needs of the regional high school students. The underlying function of the career center is to prepare students to select viable career paths and to obtain the training and skills essential for continuing education and/ or the job market.

GRUNDY LIVINGSTON KANKAKEE WORKFORCE BOARD

The GLKWB is responsible for investing annually more than $1.5 million in support of local

workforce training and services to enable individuals and employers to succeed in today’s economy. The organization secured and administers a $500,000 Illinois Talent Pipeline Grant to provide on-the-job training for local dislocated workers in the process of securing new positions at CSL Behring Kankakee, and coordinates mass hiring events for companies new to the market, such as Amazon and Meijer.

In 2018, the Workforce Board was awarded a $400,000 regional Apprenticeship Expansion Navigator grant as well as a $750,000 Talent Pipeline grant to support the Transportation/Warehousing/Distribution/Logistics industry.

Work Kankakee is an initiative of the Economic Alliance of Kankakee County in cooperation with Grundy Livingston Kankakee Workforce Board; Community Foundation of Kankakee River Valley; Kankakee County Chamber of Commerce; local and regional employers; K-12 and post-secondary educational institutions. Together, the coalition is strengthening Kankakee County’s current and emerging workforce pipeline and aligning that talent with local career opportunities across our targeted industry sectors.
