On Tuesday, Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), gained 0.05% to $62.05.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., declared a $3 million grant to Advocate Charitable Foundation to launch the Healthcare Workforce Collaborative run by Advocate Health Care that will provide healthcare-focused, skill-based training for middle-skill occupations to unemployed and underemployed populations. This grant is the largest single corporate gift in Advocate’s 20-year history as an integrated health system.

Recently, JPMorgan Chase released a Chicago Skills Gap report that determined there will be more than 14,000 middle-skill job openings every year in Chicago’s healthcare sector through 2019. These middle-skill jobs require more than a high school degree, but not a Bachelor’s degree, and the average pay is higher than the region’s living wage of $18.98/hour. The report also said that the region’s workforce doesn’t have the skills to fill these new jobs.

The Healthcare Workforce Collaborative will focus on four to five middle-skill healthcare occupations that comprise both in-patient and out-patient jobs. The program will position graduates into employment opportunities and lay the foundation for longer-term career growth. There will be four hospitals and a number of outpatient sites that engage in the program that will launch out of Advocate Trinity Hospital in the Calumet Heights neighborhood and expand after the startup phase. More than 1,000 participants will receive training over the course of the grant.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is a financial holding company. The Company is engaged in investment banking, financial services for consumers and small businesses, commercial banking, financial transaction processing and asset management.
