The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS), has launched a new series of strategic partnerships with the Chicago White Sox, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), and Northern Illinois University (NIU) to promote career opportunities in state government. These partnerships include a series of in-person career activations at sporting events this fall, where fans will be able to engage directly with CMS representatives, learn about state job openings, and explore careers in public service. Upcoming on-site activations include:

• September 19: Chicago White Sox vs. San Diego Padres — Hispanic Heritage Night

• October 4: NIU Football vs. Miami (OH)

• October 11: UIUC Football vs. Ohio State

• October 25: NIU Football vs. Ball State

This fall and winter, these universities will also be promoting state employment opportunities through work.illinois.gov at several additional games throughout the season. For more information on State of Illinois employment opportunities, visit: work.illinois.gov.
