The North Lawndale Employment Network (NLEN) is a Chicago-based organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities and support to vulnerable populations, including those suffering from poverty and limited access to healthcare and transportation. NLEN offers a range of programs, including job readiness training, utility bill assistance, and financial opportunity centers, all of which are currently being provided remotely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, NLEN has implemented virtual learning platforms for their workforce programs, ensuring that participants can continue to access training and support. Additionally, the organization is providing phone card subsidies and transportation assistance to current program participants, recognizing the importance of connectivity and mobility during job searching and training. NLEN remains committed to the health and wellbeing of their staff, clients, and community, and continues to adapt their services to meet the evolving needs of those they serve.
