Employ Milwaukee, in collaboration with our trusted and established partnerships with businesses, community- and faith organizations, economic development agencies, educational institutions, and non-profits is uniquely positioned to drive solutions for the current challenges facing both employees and employers through a proven track record of success.

In the past three years, in partnership with the Milwaukee Area Technical College, Employ Milwaukee has successfully increased and diversified the region’s IT talent pipeline by training over 502 individuals through programming that includes digital badges, pre-apprenticeship certificates, college credits, and industry credentials. Our initiative, Fresh Coast Tech Up (formerly TechHire), is a 100% online accelerated IT training boot camp connecting underrepresented populations to quality jobs with career advancement opportunities. Over 65% of trainees have been people of color and almost 40% are female.

Many people are talking about The Great Resignation – The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that more than 4.3 million people voluntarily left their jobs in December 2021. This Great Resignation has transformed into the Great Reinvention, as job seekers who craved change are taking their futures into their own hands. In turn, workforce development strategies must be reimagined to continually serve job seekers and employers.

As COVID-19 forced workers home, digital literacy skills became a requirement for many jobs that did not need this before. Employ Milwaukee recognized this gap and launched our Digital Literacy Lab in February 2021 to train job seekers with the skills needed to succeed in the 21^st century.  more
