Milwaukee County is looking to empower people toward employment by holding two job fairs this week, County Executive Chris Abele announced today.
Wednesday’s career fair seeks to connect applicants with jobs at Milwaukee County, while Friday’s job fair gives veterans and their families an opportunity to connect with more than 50 regional employers.
“When you add it all up, Milwaukee County is one of the largest employers in the area, and we offer a wide variety of quality jobs for people who want to make a difference in their community,” said Abele. “We also seek to empower the people we serve, including veterans, and connecting them with employers is an excellent way to strengthen their lives and our community.”
