PORTAGE, Wis. — The Wisconsin Employment Resource Connection and Job Connection Education Program (WERC/JCEP) celebrated passing the 1,000th client successfully placed in gainful employment during a brief ceremony last week.
The Wisconsin Employment Resource Connection (WERC) and the Job Connection Education Program (JCEP) will hold the last of three community employment summits March 26 from 11 a.m. to noon, at the Armed Forces Reserve Center (AFRC) in Madison, Wisconsin."The summit is important because it is the last of three events across Wisconsin," said Capt. Joseph Ledger, formerly the manager for the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs' WERC program and now the project officer for National Governors Association Veteran Employment initiative in Wisconsin. The first event was in Green Bay, and the second in Milwaukee. "It's also a celebration event for all of the hard work the programs involved have put forth."
