Unemployed? Learn New Skills @ Greater West Town!

Greater West Town can help you get a start in warehousing and logistics or as a cabinetmaker!

All companies in Chicago need forklift drivers, shipping clerks, dock workers, pickers and packers.  In 12 short weeks you can learn the technology, driving, and soft skills that will put you first in line for the job!  That is what happened for our recent classes of graduates - and 100% were placed on full-time jobs in their industries within weeks of graduation.

 

Woodworking companies in Chicago are clamoring for more skilled workers.  In 15 short weeks at Greater West Town, they will be making multiple offers to you!   Recent hires included cabinetmakers, museum preparators, machine operators, store fixture fabricators.
