en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) has launched a new talent portal (CQE Talent Portal), which immediately lists 755 quantum jobs from 62 employers, aiming to connect job seekers with opportunities in this rapidly expanding field.

This free career tool provides access to positions worldwide and offers a searchable talent network for CQE members and partners, funded by the Brinson Foundation. CQE CEO Kate Timmerman stated that the talent portal is "the centerpiece of our Midwest workforce strategy—and a key part of CQE's mission to build a fully integrated quantum ecosystem from discovery to deployment," aiming to facilitate connections between qualified candidates and employers. CQE Founding Director David Awschalom noted that this tool "provides a curated list of opportunities, representing a significant step toward opening a clear pathway into the field during a period of rapid development and growing talent demand." He also added that CQE's list of industry partners "represents some of the world's leading pure-play quantum companies, as well as potential end users such as Allstate, BMO, and KPMG—companies at the forefront of integrating quantum innovation into their respective industries." CQE Director of Education and Workforce Development Emily Easton emphasized that the portal helps build connections, noting that "people often get jobs through informal network referrals" and that "anyone who has been in the workplace for a while knows that one of the main ways people get jobs is through informal network referrals." CQE's membership list includes institutions such as Allstate, BMO, and KPMG, as well as quantum-focused companies. The portal also complements other CQE resources, such as the professional development program Q-Ready, which has already attracted nearly 500 participants.

An analysis commissioned by CQE from the Boston Consulting Group predicts significant growth in quantum jobs in the Illinois-Wisconsin-Indiana region, with demand expected to reach up to 191,000 positions across all levels by the end of this decade. This anticipated growth underscores the urgent need for proactive workforce development initiatives, which CQE is addressing through its newly launched talent portal.
