HOWARD, Wis. (WFRV) – The second JopPod site has opened in Brown County at the Weyers-Hilliard Branch Library and it kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday.

“This is our fourth JobPod launch and we have other ones going across the state for our Pilot program,” began Patterson. “The JobPod brings together resources in the communities and can get all of those services offered at the convenience of their local library.”
JobPod, which is powered by Microsoft, facilitates easy and reliable access to job search resources for employment seekers by merging community library spaces with the expertise of workforce development professionals.
JobPod is currently expanding its pilot program to library sites throughout the state of Wisconsin. The Weyers-Hilliard Branch Library is located at 2680 Riverview Drive in Green Bay.
