Advance Wisconsin Employment successfully concluded the first cohort of the LifeWorks 2.0 program! We provided a three-week training program for justice involved individuals, all of whom were hired upon completion of the training.

We couldn't have done this without partnership from Northcentral Technical College, who provided hands on training via the Move to Manufacturing program. We also want to thank our employer sponsors: Greenheck Group, Crystal Finishing Systems Inc., Wausau Tile and Schuette Metals, Inc. for providing input on the curriculum, allowing participants to tour their facilities and guaranteeing to interview any interested participants.

Finally, we couldn't have gotten the program off the ground without sponsorship. Support for this project was provided through the Wausau Marathon County Impact Fund of Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin. Additional sponsorship was provided by Associated Bank, the B.A. & Esther Greenheck Foundation , WoodTrust Bank and Wisconsin Public Service Foundation.
