About JobPod
Table of Contents
JobPod facilitates easy and reliable access to job search resources for job seekers by merging community library spaces with existing workforce development services. JobPod enables community members across Wisconsin to access a full range of existing job services regardless of where they live.
JobPod was founded by the Bay Area Workforce Development Board, the Brown County Library, the Department of Workforce Development, and the Nicolet Library System, which also operates JobPod.
Please contact the Nicolet Library System if you are interested in discussing the possibility of establishing a JobPod in your public library.
