Why Work For Harold Washington College (HWC)?

At Harold Washington College you are more than just an employee, you are considered family. We value the input and contributions of all of our employees. We offer a competitive salary and first-class benefit package, which include medical, dental and even tuition reimbursement.* Located in the heart of downtown Chicago (or as we say, The Loop!), Harold Washington college employees have an opportunity to enjoy the cultural, civic, recreational and retail attractions that the city has to offer. We are just blocks from such Chicago landmarks as the John Hancock Center, Millennium Park, The Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and The Art Institute. We are also steps away from the Chicago Theater District.

Working at HWC is my dream job. Throughout my professional career, I would often pause and wonder if what I was doing actually made a difference. At HWC, I believe I have the opportunity to make a difference for each and every individual I interact with. And, it’s not just about working with our students; it’s also about working with my colleagues. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Everyone has the power of greatness. Not for fame, but greatness. Because greatness is determined by service.” Working at HWC will help you realize YOUR power of greatness.
