Spotlight
Mesirow has a longstanding partnership with Anixter Center, an organization that has served hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities and behavioral health needs in the Chicago area since 1919.
We partner with Anixter to deliver two programs: the Mesirow Opportunity & Inclusion Program, which provides full-time employment tailored to individual interests and abilities, and our 10-week Job Training Program geared towards successful future employment. Both enable participants to gain important career, technical and soft skills.
“The partnership between Anixter and Mesirow is unique...
They came to us, asking how we could help them hire people with disabilities to be part of the Mesirow community.”
Rebecca Clark, Anixter Center President and CEO
