Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is looking to Chicago's young workers to invigorate the economic development plan being overseen by World Business Chicago.
Mr. Emanuel and the not-for-profit organization announced today a fellowship program that will have companies offer up-and-coming employees pro bono to help implement the city's "Plan for Economic Growth & Jobs Implementation."
“One of Chicago's biggest strengths is our talented workforce,” Mr. Emanuel said in a release. “This new fellowship program allows us to tap some of the best and the brightest minds — and engage our city's future leaders. The fellows will help shape Chicago's economic development by implementing the plan's key economic growth initiatives, which are essential for the city to compete in the global economy.”
