ManpowerGroup celebrates more than seven
decades of helping people find meaningful, sustainable employment
by hosting students for a career day event at Fiserv Forum
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- With ManpowerGroup's (NYSE:
MAN) 75th anniversary approaching, the global workforce solutions
leader is marking the milestone by giving back to the Milwaukee community where it was founded in
1948. The company is teaming up with the Metropolitan Milwaukee
Association of Commerce (MMAC) and the Milwaukee Bucks as
part of MMAC's "Be the Spark" initiative to provide industry
specific connected experiences for high school students.
ManpowerGroup's "Netting an In-Demand Career Day" will be held at
Fiserv Forum on October 19.
Approximately 250 sophomores, juniors, and seniors from
Milwaukee's choice, charter, and
public schools, including Milwaukee Public School's Audubon
Technology and Communications High School, Bay View High School,
Golda Meir School, and Riverside
University High School, Bradley
Technology & Trade High School, Howard Fuller Collegiate
Academy, Milwaukee Academy of Science, St. Augustine Preparatory
Academy, and Whitefish Bay High School will have the opportunity to
engage with professionals who work in the industries of Advanced
Manufacturing, Business/Finance, Healthcare, and Technology. The
event will highlight a variety of high-demand careers through the
lens of the Milwaukee Bucks organization and their supply chain.
The students will gain insights into how these careers contribute
to the success of organizations like the Bucks, and hopefully spark
passion points that students can parlay into professional
careers.
By 2027, the Milwaukee Region is projected to have more than
245,000 jobs within these four industry clusters, offering an
average annual wage of $66,000.
"As we reflect on our 75-year journey of connecting people to
meaningful, sustainable work, we're excited to engage the next
generation of talent and give back to the city we've called home
since our founding," said Jonas
Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO. "By spotlighting
careers that empower individuals and strengthen communities, we
hope to inspire students to pursue their passions and help set them
up for success in the future."
"At ManpowerGroup, we believe that meaningful, sustainable
employment has the power to change the world. Helping to ready
youth for work is one way in which we play a role in the
communities that we serve and operate," ManpowerGroup Chief People
and Culture Officer Michelle Nettles
said. "That's why we are proud to join together with partners
like the Bucks, MMAC, and United Way to support the development of
tomorrow's workforce by engaging diverse high school students
across the city for this Career Experience Day. Our goals today are
to show students the career possibilities right here in
Milwaukee while sparking their
passions and inspiring them to pursue their dreams."
"As one of our region's most iconic brands, the Bucks are
uniquely positioned to highlight the variety of attractive career
opportunities that exist here in the Milwaukee Region," MMAC
President Tim Sheehy said. "We often
think of the Bucks as a team on the court, but there's a much
larger 'team behind the team' that makes it all possible – and
within that team, there are many high-quality, high-demand careers.
Connecting students with career-based learning experiences has been
a longstanding MMAC priority, and we're happy to have the
opportunity to do so again."
Media are invited to capture the excitement of this event.
