The Workforce Partners of Metropolitan Chicago (WPMC) is a 10-county consortium of Workforce Agencies that oversee the public workforce system in each of their respective local areas in support of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). To succeed in our efforts to improve the Region’s workforce system, we coordinate and collaborate with a variety of other agencies on the local, state and national level.  Below are several links to such organizations’ websites.
