“While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented its challenges, Kankakee United continues to remain active by providing virtual/in-person events,” Kankakee United City Lead Linh Williams said. "One of Kankakee United’s main goals is to expand employment opportunities and ... assist participants in determining the best career paths for themselves."
The presentation took place at the Kankakee Public Library, where interested individuals learned more about career fields and which was right for them, according to a press release from the City of Kankakee.
