Social Enterprise Intern Program
Donation protected
We are a high-end luxury house keeping service that not only brings peace and rest to homes in downtown Chicago, but we also have a passion for the development of our community and city. We stand in the gap for the marginalized and are doing our part to participate in the economic development of Chicago's neighborhoods.
Chicago Loop Cleaners was founded with the dream of contributing to the social and economic development of Little Village, a neighborhood in the southwest side of Chicago. We're shooting for the stars in 2017. After 3 years of developing a solid internal structure and a profitable business model, we are excited to make a larger impact for our clients and our community.
Internship Program
We are developing a year-long training program that will enable each employee to identify their vision for their own life and to have developed professional and interpersonal skills that will make them highly desirable for future jobs. The first 3 months will teach the team members professionalism and cleaning skills. The next 6 months will focus on personal development. This will include training on self-esteem, life visioning, goal setting, conflict management, nutrition, and financial education. In the final months of the year each team member will be able to identify the direction they want to take their career by using those skills within the company. While still cleaning, they will have opportunity to become more involved with social media marketing, blog writing, sales, management, employee training, accounting, or any other career-building skill.
The total cost for the fully-developed program is $130,000. The most basic functional version of the program can be created for $50,000.
Hiring New Employees
We put each applicant through a rigorous hiring process which includes an online software application and match, a personality test, a phone interview, a working interview, and in-person interview, and a background check and drug test. We bring on only the most serious cleaners who have a vision for their future. We bring the resources and they bring the passion and commitment to both cleaning and development.
The cost of recruiting, hiring, on-boarding and training these new employees for 2017 is approximately $15,000.
Help us reach our funding goal
In order to hit our goals this year, we need to raise a minimum $65,000. To fully fund the entire program, we'd like to raise $145,00 within the next 2 years. With this money we'll be able to hire new employees and put them through a full internship program that not only involves becoming a highly skilled house cleaner, but also puts them on a path of professional and personal development so that they can take the next steps of success in their lives. If our communities are developed, then we all win.
