Our History
In 1992, a United Way Community Needs Assessment revealed that unemployment and underemployment were the top concerns among local residents. This finding sparked a grassroots movement aimed at providing meaningful support and resources for those navigating career transitions.
As a result, the Community Career Center (CCC) officially opened its doors in September 1996, offering job seekers the tools, guidance, and community support needed to conduct effective job searches and return to work with confidence.
In 2019, after careful reflection and a desire to more accurately reflect the importance of connection in the job search process, CCC became the Career & Networking Center (CNC). While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: to empower individuals on their career journey through coaching, resources, and the power of networking.
The Community Career Center was founded in response to a growing unemployment and underemployment need in Naperville, IL.
Today, we are proud to be the Career & Networking Center, a hub where individuals find job and career support, direction, and community.
