Work Experience Coordinator

Title: Work Experience Coordinator

Location: Milwaukee County, Wisconsin (Openings at our South, West, and North sites in Milwaukee County)

Create the next rung on the ladder. The Work Experience Coordinator builds the community work sites where clients gain skills, confidence, and references on their way to a career.

How we serve

• Whole family. When a parent goes to work, the whole household feels it. We look at the full picture (children, child care, housing, transportation, well-being) and plan with the family, not just the person on the caseload.

• Abundance mindset. Every family brings strengths: skills, support networks, and determination. We build on what is already there, and we treat every setback as a next step, never a final word.

• In person, with dignity. Our doors are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Clients are welcomed onsite and treated as partners in their own progress.

• Results that last. We measure success by jobs kept, wages grown, and families made stronger, and we use what we learn to keep improving.

What you'll do

• Find and develop work training sites with nonprofits, public agencies, and businesses.

• Match clients to placements that fit their goals and their family's schedule.

• Visit sites, monitor quality, and work through issues with site supervisors.

• Collect attendance so clients get credit for their hours.

• Help clients earn certifications that lead to paid work.

You'll thrive here if

• You are a relationship builder who also likes things organized.

• You enjoy being out in the community, not only at a desk.

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in social work, human services, education, business, or a related field preferred.

• One or more years in workforce development, case management, or employment services.

• Regular local travel to work sites; occasional evening hours.
