About WCBI
Building the Obama Presidential Center isn’t just about bringing a new world-class destination to the South Side—it’s about investing in the surrounding community. The Obama Presidential Center and We Can Build It teamed up to develop a pipeline of construction talent that looks like the community the Obama Presidential Center calls home.
From outreach, to pre apprenticeship training, to test preparation and job placement, the partnership is ready to help Chicagoans establish a successful career in construction.
