Join us for a special edition of the Saturday Morning Forum at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Headquarters as we welcome the African American Contractors Association (AACA) for the 22nd Annual African American Contractors Day.
This important gathering will bring together contractors, skilled trades professionals, truckers, business leaders, labor representatives, elected officials, and community stakeholders to discuss strategies for expanding jobs, increasing access to contracts, and promoting fairness and equity throughout the construction industry.
We are also honored to be joined by the presidents of four of Chicago's City Colleges, who will share the educational, workforce development, career training, and apprenticeship opportunities available through these outstanding institutions. Their participation underscores the critical connection between education, skilled trades, and building pathways to family-sustaining careers.
Together, we will examine the challenges facing minority contractors and explore practical solutions that strengthen minority-owned businesses, create economic opportunity, and advance equitable participation in public and private construction projects.
