Growing the region’s talent pipeline is a fundamental strategy of every local workforce development board. Employ Milwaukee works collaboratively with our service and training partners and our Coordinating Council members to continually share training program and employment opportunities with job seekers. Through our Community Engagement staff, our reach into communities has expanded by connecting with individuals and employers who were not previously engaged in the workforce system. Once connected to the Job Center of Wisconsin and local programming, job seekers can be recruited and pre-screened for referral to training programs and employer hiring events.

Job-ready candidates are invited to hiring events where employers and staffing agencies interview candidates who possess the required skills or work experience. Job seekers pursuing their first job or next employment opportunity are recruited for events where employers are seeking dependable, team-oriented and trainable individuals who are committed to acquiring work experience or new skill sets.
