The Milwaukee Bucks will utilize the SkillSmart platform to enable job seekers to create profiles, understand requirements for open positions, and connect with training partners to become qualified. Leading up to construction, contractors will use the platform to identify candidates for their open construction positions. "Both SkillSmart and the Bucks are committed to using local workforce development as an opportunity to drive regional economic growth," said SkillSmart Co-Founder, SVP & General Counsel Jason Green. "This project is intended to ensure the local Milwaukee community experiences the benefits, including job creation, of the arena's construction and operating jobs."
