Approximately 30,000 of Chicago's unemployed residents are former middle-income workers, yet they are largely left out of public programs aimed at supporting and retraining dislocated workers. Chicago Career Tech, an innovative job retraining program providing unemployed white-collar workers with the training and education necessary for high-demand technology-based careers, announced that applications are being accepted for its second class session. Capacity has been expanded to accommodate 325 participants -- approximately double the size of a pilot program launched in May of this year. The program hopes to enroll 2,100 participants over the next three years.
