May 6, 2026

Connecting the right educators with the right classrooms is vital to strengthening Chicago’s early childhood workforce. To make these connections easier, we are excited to introduce the Chicago Education Workforce Center (EWC) Early Childhood Job Portal—an exclusive resource designed specifically for EWC members.

How to Access the Portal

Accessing the portal is a personalized process. Depending on your status, here is how to get started:

  1. Become a Member: If you aren’t a member yet, head to our website and select “Enroll” to fill out the membership form.
  2. Check Your Inbox: Existing members will receive an official invitation from welcome@notifications.steame.com via SteamE, our platform partner.
  3. Log In: Once you have followed the link in your invitation to set up your account, you can log in with your email and password to access the full suite of career tools.

Tailored Search Tools for Educators

We know that early childhood isn't a one-size-fits-all career. Our portal allows you to search and filter opportunities in ways that actually matter to your professional goals. 

Search by Specifics
Filter by employer name, zip code, or required certifications.

Age Groups & Settings
Looking for infant care or preschool? Prefer community-based organizations? You can filter for those exact settings.

Scholarship Eligibility
One of our most important features is the "Scholarship Eligible" filter. This is designed specifically for members looking for roles that satisfy the work commitment for the Chicago Early Learning Workforce Scholarship.

Fresh Opportunities Daily

The portal is refreshed daily, with new job postings published automatically. This ensures that employers are reaching our members with the newest opportunities as soon as they become available.

Whether you are a teacher looking for the next step or an employer looking for dedicated talent, the Chicago Education Workforce Center is here to make the connection.
