Who We Are

Our History

The Career & Networking Center came into being as the result of a multi-phase grassroots effort to address the concerns of the underemployed and unemployed in our community of Naperville, IL.


Beginning in 1992, a Naperville United Way Community Needs Assessment revealed the number one concern of local citizens was unemployment and underemployment. As a result, the Community Career Center opened its doors in September 1996 to assist individuals in developing the tools and resources needed to conduct a successful job search and return to work. 


In 2019, the Community Career Center, after much consideration, decided to change its name to Career & Networking Center.

Who We Are Today

Today the CNC provides a supportive and professional environment where individuals can conduct a productive and successful job search, receive career-enhancing, professional development advice, and build their professional network. 


CNC has helped thousands of unemployed and underemployed individuals get back to work. Under the umbrella of the, “Empower the Job Seeker” program, CNC works with job seekers to develop and execute a plan to find employment (or a better job) needed for greater financial stability and self-sufficiency. 


Perhaps, one of the unique features of our Center is the coaching appointments, which include: general career consultation, brand development, career exploration, interviewing skills, job search strategy, networking, resume writing and, LinkedIn. Programs and services are available virutally through Zoom without geographic restrictions.
