The Job Center of Wisconsin is a good option to consider, starting with the website: https://jobcenterofwisconsin.com/.

Other resources for both employers and job seekers can be found at http://wisconsinjobcenter.org/otherassistance/default.htm

Reflective topics for employers and job seekers include recruitment, employee retention, workforce training, plan a career, training and education, and look for a job.

In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is closing Job Centers across the state starting Wednesday, March 25th. This includes the St. Croix Valley Job Center in River Falls, Wisconsin which serves the Greater St. Croix Valley.
