Administrative Coordinator - Skills for Chicagoland's Future

Who: Skills for Chicagoland’s Future (Skills) is a public-private partnership driven to meet the talent demands of businesses, and to be a catalyst for systemic change and innovation. This drive is centered on our mission to get the unemployed and underemployed back to work. By focusing on the hiring demand of employers, Skills has created a paradigm shift in the general supply-driven approach to workforce development. The impact of this demand-driven approach can be seen through both the employers’ skilled and diverse workforce, and the economic mobility provided to the job seekers who are no longer unemployed/underemployed. Launched in 2012, Skills’ foundation is built on its strong employer partner relationships, dedicated Board of Directors, and funding support from both government grants and private donors. To date, Skills has directly impacted the lives of 6,200+ job seekers who were returned to work, and the bottom-line for 60+ employer partners.

What: Under the direction of the Vice President of Finance & Administration, the Administrative Coordinator will be responsible for organizing and coordinating office administration and procedures, in order to ensure organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and safety. The Administrative Coordinator is responsible for developing intra-office communication protocols, streamlining administrative procedures, inventory control, and task delegation. The Administrative Coordinator needs to be experienced in handling a wide range of administrative and executive support related tasks and able to work independently with little or no supervision. Often they will be the first person that all guests interact with. They will be well organized, flexible, and enjoy the administrative challenges of supporting an office and leadership team of diverse people.
