In excess of 35 workshops on job search techniques, career development, personal growth, skills training, entrepreneurial and small business development are available at the Workforce Development Center at no cost.  We recommend that every customer attend the Workforce Development Center Orientation Workshop, held every Monday from 1-4 p.m., in Racine and every other Tuesday at the Burlington Service Center from 1-4 p.m. This valuable workshop provides job seekers with "take-aways" regarding successful job search techniques and career objectives and includes a tour of the Workforce Development Center and its many valuable programs available to job seekers. Trained career development professionals or industry experts deliver these one to three hour workshops.
