COMMON GROUND WORKS

Creating career paths 

To truly get ahead, people need meaningful work. It means the difference between thriving and merely surviving. To better serve those in our community who are struggling to find it, Common Ground has formed a new workforce development and training organization in Milwaukee, Common Ground Works (CGW).

Partnering with the CARA organization in Chicago, CGW has begun planning efforts by securing a growing list of funders and incorporating CGW as a nonprofit entity. 

At the same time, we’re working to identify organizations that can help people move from entry-level positions to those that offer a true career path forward. Team members are actively nurturing relationships with employee-partners and placement organizations to make this much-needed program a reality.
