Episode 43: The Road to a Career in Hospitality!
<p>Join The Partnership CEO as he talks to Erin Cohan, Director of Talent Acquisition, Northwestern Medicine and Yocelyn (Yessi) Pina, a Culinary Apprentice with the Navigate Program who has benefited from regional WIOA funding. Both these women have healthcare and hospitality at their core. The conversation began as a discussion of the 9<sup>th</sup> Annual Hospitality Hires Chicago on May 28, 2026, but led to a profound discussion of the way a major healthcare employer values patient and employee care and how a young woman found her "health and wealth" and says her culinary training "goes beyond a career, this is my life." </p>

Episode 42: April is Second/Fair Chance Month
<p>"If there was a class about how to tie my shoes, I took it!" says Charlotte A., a reentrant who has worked for the past eight years at North Lawndale Employment Network (NLEN), about her 20 years of incarceration. "I saw people leave and come back," she recalls, "and I knew I was not coming back." She heard about CEO Brenda Palms and NLEN's programs for those with a background while she was still "inside," and "hit the ground running once she was out." Listen in as we talk about Second (or Fair) Chance month and the importance of self-value and giving back no matter what your background may be.</p>
