Chatham has long been an iconic African American community in Chicago, where professionals, middle- and working-class families live and work.

The 11,000-square-foot Center was conceptualized by The Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership (The Partnership), which operates the public workforce system in the City of Chicago and Cook County, and its CEO Karin M. Norington-Reaves. It truly lives up to its name as a place for education and occupational advancement.
