Job Center of Wisconsin

The Job Center of Wisconsin (JCW) is a free online portal that connects job seekers with employment opportunities throughout Wisconsin. JCW's interactive search options allow users to search job openings by title, employer, keyword, location, apprenticeship opportunity, location, and more. Additionally, users can upload a resume or use the resume builder to create a resume that highlights the job seeker's skills.

A suite of tools is also available to JCW users, projections of job openings and information about occupations to assist in career exploration and a list of the top 10 "Hot Jobs" by area along with education levels and median wage. Tools to assist with a household budget, calculating self-sufficiency, exploring career options, and more are also available.
