ROUND LAKE BEACH – As part of his ongoing efforts to help connect job seekers to employers, state Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, is highlighting the new Get Hired Illinois program.

“One of the many consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic is the increase in unemployed individuals in Illinois,” Yingling said in a news release. “Now more than ever, we must make sure that job seekers are provided with all the necessary resources to get connected with employers and find work.”

Get Hired Illinois is a compilation of resources that provide information to both job seekers and employers to help increase employment.

Some of these resources include virtual job fairs, a listing of current job openings, and links to other resources. For information, visit the Get Hired Illinois website at www2.illinois.gov/GetHired/Pages/default.aspx..
