The CEO of CAPS says jobs are available everywhere, in daycares, libraries, food retail — you name it. And you don't have to live in a certain area either.

"Our officers are in the most destitute areas of Chicago. We work with those most difficult cases of employment. People who have barriers to employment," said Sheryl Holman. "We are in our 21st year."
