Workforce Development resources
Library staff training resources
A digital ad campaign promoting libraries as partners in workforce development will go live statewide on January 10, 2022, and run until February 27. The goal of the campaign will be to remind the public of the role Wisconsin public libraries can play to connect job seekers with existing programs and services. If all goes according to plan, you will see new faces in your library!
The following video introduces all resources library staff need to position their library as a partner in workforce development. System marketers talk about using the new toolkit resources and toolkit (recorded 12/13/2021).

Library staff resources to assist Wisconsin's workforce (from DPI)
Library staff are often asked to help library users navigate job seeker and employment services. Multiple resources are available to assist in building partnerships with workforce development teams, and to enhance knowledge of workforce systems, programs and services that support job seekers.
Along with the resources below, each library should assess and list on its website the specific services offered and any associated costs or required appointments. Then communicate this information to all staff. A Workforce Resources Inventory for Libraries is available to assist in this task.
Please bookmark DPI's Library Staff Resources to Assist Wisconsin's Workforce website on staff computer stations.
