Wisconsin Works State Employment Team
Madison
December 2001
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The attached FY 2000 and FY 2001 Wisconsin Works State Employment Team (W-2 SET) report provides information on W-2 SET involvement in facilitating employment and retention of W-2 and Food Stamp job-seekers with dependent children in State of Wisconsin jobs.
The report shows successes in hiring, retention, and training of job-seekers from the W-2 and Food Stamp programs. These successes would not have been possible without the partnerships that have been created and maintained among the W-2 SET, W-2 and Job Center agencies, state agencies, and community based organizations. When considering that both W-2 and Food Stamp participation has significantly declined in Wisconsin over the past three years, these accomplishments have an even greater meaning.
State agencies and campuses reported making a total of 124 permanent hires in FY2000 and 206 in FY 2001. This is a 66% increase! In addition, they reported employing 46 limited term employment (LTE) and project hires in FY 2000 and 81 in FY 2001 for a 76% increase! State agencies reported a total of 24 job-seekers in Community Service Jobs (CSJ) each year.
To support the hiring efforts of state agencies, the State Employment Specialists (SES) provided one-on-one assistance in job counseling, retention, resume writing, test preparation, and interviewing skills to 45 job-seekers in FY2000 and 46 in FY 2001. Of these individuals, 13 were hired into permanent state jobs in FY 2000 and 21 in FY 2001 for a 62%increase.
