Illinois workNet has just celebrated its 10th birthday since going live on June 1, 2005! Big thanks go out to YOU; we wouldn’t be here today without the support of you, our customers, partners, and supporters. Throughout our 10 years, our goal has remained the same, to help individuals, employers, and workforce partner’s achieve their career, training, and employment goals.
Let’s take a look at how far we’ve come!
