The City of Chicago provides financial assistance for job training through the Workforce Solutions program managed by the Department of Planning and Development. The program subsidizes training for incumbent workers and new hires for qualified Chicago businesses. Workforce Solutions reimbursement grants are funded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and proceeds from the 2025 Housing and Economic Development Bond.
Reimbursement grants up to $250,000 may fund up to 100% of eligible expenses for businesses seeking to train current employees and/or new hires. Grants do not have to be repaid. Workforce Solutions has a strong legacy of supporting workforce development for business across Chicago.
Originally created in 2002 as TIFWorks, the program has awarded more than $35 million in grants to provide training to more than 600 Chicago businesses, 20,000 employees and 2,000 new hires. The program has helped provide training in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, nonprofits, small businesses, hospitality and health care.
As of early 2026, the anticipated combination of Housing and Economic Development bond funding for job training projects anywhere in the city, plus TIF funding for projects within 77 eligible TIF districts, represents the largest investment in workforce development in City of Chicago history.
