Our three pillars

 Funded by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the MDC Workforce Development Hub empowers job seekers with the skills and resources needed to excel in today’s job market in our region. Specializing in technical job training within the clean energy field, we provide job readiness support—from resume building and interview preparation to writing assistance—and access to certification testing to strengthen qualifications. By partnering with a network of hiring businesses, we connect individuals to genuine job opportunities, offering trusted referrals to a supportive employment ecosystem. 

The Innovation Incubator & Accelerator is set to become a dynamic hub for community growth, offering new entrepreneurs and small businesses essential resources to start strong. Coming soon, our collaborative space will provide access to internet connectivity, conference rooms, and computer resources to help lower startup costs. With plans to offer mentorship, office hours, and strategic guidance, we aim to be a key connector in the community, supporting business expansion and success.
