Prairie State College is offering a new program to provide internships to unemployed suburban Cook County residents.
The partnership with Opportunity Works connects participants with eight-week paid internships in high-demand industries like transportation, distribution and logistics, information technology, manufacturing, and healthcare.
The internships pay $15 per hour for 25 hours per week.
Participants do not have to be enrolled in school, must be between 16 and 24, unemployed, and reside in suburban Cook County.
