Direct services to individuals are provided through the eight Job Center offices in Southwest Wisconsin or on-line through our Virtual Job Center at www.jobcenter.org .   What are "Job Centers?" Job Centers are our version of "one-stop shopping" in the delivery of employment-related services. The offices are open to the general public and offer primarily free services for job-seeker customers. In addition, Wisconsin's JobNet system, a state-wide job-posting site, is available to help jobseekers to find a job is offered through the Job Centers and is accessible both onsite and online.

The Southwest Wisconsin Workforce Development Board is responsible for local design and implementation of the Job Centers.
