  • CTA’s Second Chance program is a nationally recognized program that provides valuable job skills and career opportunities to Chicago residents who often face challenges re-entering the workforce. It not only provides jobs to nonviolent ex-offenders, victims of abuse and others who face barriers to employment, but also offers a wide range of training, education, mentoring and networking.
    Since 2011 under Mayor Emanuel, the program has doubled in size to become one of the largest re-entry programs in the country. Over the last five years, more than 825 people have participated-gaining experience they might not have received elsewhere. More than 245 Second Chance participants have been hired permanently by CTA, with dozens of others moving on to private-sector jobs.

      I agree with you 100%. There are those who get out that want a second chance at life, and most places just don’t give that. The CTA has done a great thing to give those who truly want a second chance the opportunity to take it. To see that people in the second chance program go to management is really remarkable. It shows that when you put your heart and mind to something, you can achieve great things

      Absolutely, they don’t want to have to go back to what they did to put them there.
