What transportation options for getting to and from work are available to you?:
Unsure
Public Transportation Supports: Proximity to bus line and details of which line/stop. Wheels to Work program participation and cost.:
This is likely the biggest challenge. We may be able to place 1 student at our small downtown location on Ottawa near Michigan Ave, but the other 4 roles (potentially all 5 roles) will be on our campus, so we will need the participants to have transportation.
Is your organization a Minority Business Enterprise?:
No
Diversity Equity, & Inclusion Commitment: Share your organizations commitment to DEI, including local or national diversity commitments/pledges, links to public content outlining your strategy, and current representation in leadership and the general workforce.:
