I went here to get information on becoming a CNA in IL. I have certifications in MN and WI. Everyone was great until I got to the job coach. She was very discouraging. Told me I wouldnt get a job in a hospital Id have to crawl first and start at a nursing home. I informed her I have five years experience as a CNA in MN & WI, she asked what makes me marketable in IL, thats there, what do I have to offer employers in IL. She then told me to remove the line under my personal info on my resume that separates my personal info from my Employment History. She told me to change Employment History to Work History and dont leave any spacing on resume to make it shorter. I explained if there is no white space on the resume, the info will be to bunched and look overwhelming to prospective employers. She wrote all over my resume, told me to make the corrections and come back when Im ready to take the T.A.B.E. test. I told her Id be back a week from the day I was meeting with her. She said you may want to study, the test is hard and Im not sure youll be ready in a week. I explained I was in school up until last semester and had received an A in college Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and had completed all my pre-reqs for the nursing program. She then recommended another program that offers the CNA program free for everyone at Chicago State University.

This is a very solid and functioning city building, which houses many City Services. This facility provides a useful place for trainings and function to occur, as well as provides city services. Staff are friendly and polite. They greet with a smile and are very courteous and helpful. As a public facility, some of the utilities are well used and may not be shiny and new. While it is a functional facility, do not expect luxurious amenities. Parking lot (fenced) is available. During some larger events, this lot can become full, so plan ahead. Some of the rooms can be unpredictable with temperature, so if attending, wear layers in case the room is too cold or warm for your taste.

When I was a kid I went to the summer program at the Martin Luther King Center we were preparing to perform in the annual Bud Billikens Parade and I was chosen to ride the American Airline float. It was the highlight of my summer that year. .

It is a great resource center for the city. Ms. Bobbie , Ms. Evelyn and the rest of the employees that work there are fantastic. They go above and beyond to help the clients that come for help. Thank you

This entire place is in desperate need of renovation. It gives Dr. King a bad name! Shame!
