The American Job Center serves as a focal point for local and regional workforce development initiatives that collaborate to advance the economic well-being of the region by developing and maintaining a quality workforce. 

 

Partner agencies include county health and human services departments, economic development organizations, technical colleges, private for-profit and nonprofit agencies, Wisconsin Job Service, and Forward Careers' staff.
