“Through pre-apprenticeship programs, students build a strong foundation for a successful career and develop lifelong skills,” said Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “This funding will help organizations expand interest in these high-demand fields and strengthen our state’s workforce in the long term.”

The latest round of funding includes $25 million to support pre-apprenticeship programs that aim to increase diversity and create pathways for underrepresented groups in the construction industry, including women, veterans and people of color. The program offers comprehensive, tuition-free training and certifications, along with supportive services to help individuals gain entry to apprenticeships and ultimately secure stable, well-paying careers.

Eligible applicants include nonprofits, chambers of commerce, community colleges, technical schools and school districts, among others. Grants will range from $150,000 to $550,000, with applications accepted until Aug. 31.

Residents can safely discard documents on Saturday, July 19 at American Legion Post 187, 310 W. Butterfield Road, from 9 a.m. to noon, or until the truck is full.

Welcome

Welcome! It's an honor to serve the residents of the 23rd State Senate District.

I encourage you to check my website regularly. I’ll provide frequent updates on crucial legislative issues concerning our district and state.

This site serves as a resource for information on municipal and state services, community events and other opportunities available to local residents.

As your state senator, I look forward to working in a bipartisan manner to promote compromise and collaboration and to find meaningful solutions to lower property tax bills, ensure our schools and universities have the resources to be successful and keep our children safe.

Because I am committed to passing a balanced budget every year and properly funding Illinois’ pension system, I have declined to accept a pension as State Senator.

Please don’t hesitate to contact our office with your questions and concerns.

Sincerely,

Suzy Glowiak Hilton
State Senator, District 23
