Leveraging Technology Purchasing Power to Empower Underinvested Residents, Neighborhoods, and Businesses
The positive impacts of the ever-expanding tech economy have meant meaningful work for thousands and increased prosperity to Chicago – but whole swaths of neighborhoods don’t have access to it. The Comer Foundation, P33 and SDI Presence have come together to create a sustainable and scalable model that produces economic growth for untapped talent and their communities.
Chicagoland corporations spend $16B on technology projects and IT services annually. Most of this IT spend leaves the local economy, often going offshore. The net result: Chicago’s technology ecosystem only produces training and jobs for some and the positive impacts of the tech economy fails to reach our under-invested communities.
Xchange brings those dollars back – through a unique combination of workforce development and neighborhood revitalization efforts. Xchange brings employers, training partners, and community resources together to address our customers’ technology requirements by using an IT workforce that reflectsChicago’s population. We do so by working with nontraditional hiring sources – without compromising capabilities, skills, and talent.
Want to build your organization’s talent pipeline while adhering to a high standard of quality IT services? It’s simple: in-source some of your IT spend with Xchange’s proven MBE IT suppliers to create jobs that fuel local communities.
Join Xchange, and together we can create a vibrant and inclusive economy.
