Positive Pathways of Chicago is a 501 (c) (3) non-for-profit organization with a unique manufacturing based Industrial Relationship Training program that works to redevelop the relationship* and employability** skills of veterans and formerly incarcerated adults to secure meaningful and career-based employment.

Our goal then is to re-align these new skills to successfully manage the responsibilities and expectations of life-long employment and to be a positive and productive influence to assist their organizations effort of reducing scrap, rework, absenteeism, grievances and resistance to change.

For years employers have sounded off with deep frustrations that they cannot find enough “Good Workers.” Our Industrial Relationship Training works to meet those needs those “Good Employers” are searching for.

This program’s uniqueness is not specific to the manufacturing industry in that these principles apply to any industry where are people who work to some type of process and producing either a produce or service.

We help people overcome drug problems, other health conditions, and arrest histories. Through our advocacy and case management services, we show our clients that their past isn’t necessarily the path of their future, and that they can succeed in changing their lives.

Throughout Illinois, we work with men, women, and youth who are involved in courts, prisons, public health, and child welfare systems. We connect these government systems to services in the community.

Success through Case Management

TASC does not provide treatment, but instead we are independent advocates who place clients into community-based treatment programs and other services that will help them succeed. We also provide ongoing case management, often for many months or more.

People who receive TASC’s case management services are more successful—in terms of reduced drug use and reduced use of government programs—than those who don’t get TASC.

Our goal is to help adults and youth become healthy and responsible citizens and family members. Through our statewide team of care coordinators, we help our clients live up to the hopes they have for themselves and the promises they make to others.

Statewide Services and National Consulting

There are a number of TASC programs throughout the United States. The TASC model was introduced to Illinois in 1976, and we now reach nearly 29,000 people across the state annually.

Our partners include more than 240 community-based treatment providers across Illinois, along with numerous supporters at local, state, and national levels.

Also, through our Center for Health and Justice, we offer consulting, training, and broad-based public policy solutions nationally and internationally.
