Chicago Talent Challenge

How will you use $5 million to connect Chicagoans with good health care jobs at scale?

The Pritzker Traubert Foundation created the Chicago Talent Challenge to tackle two pressing needs: helping Chicagoans build stable careers and helping employers fill essential jobs.

Our first focus: health care. We’re looking for ideas that open doors to careers like nursing, behavioral health, community health, and direct care — jobs that are both high-need and high-opportunity.

The application window has now closed.

“The Chicago Talent Challenge is an investment in the people and potential of this city. We want to help more Chicagoans start careers that pay well and offer real opportunity. We also want to help businesses that urgently need skilled workers. It’s part of our broader commitment to making Chicago work better for everyone.”

—Penny Pritzker, cofounder and trustee of the Pritzker Traubert Foundation.
