Customer Success
Employer Partner Success |
James enrolled in the FSET program in the fall of 2021. On the day he enrolled, James advised FSET that he has been recently released from incarceration and was staying in temporary housing. He stated that his goal was to gain full-time employment. James began creating a resume with the help of his case manager. Additionally, they worked on acquiring his birth certificate which he needed to get his state ID for employment.
James decided to apply for several jobs which included Printpack. FSET’s Career Services team submitted a direct referral to Printpack on James behalf. Soon after, James was offered an interview with Printpack. After completing the initial interview, James was invited back for a second interview and tour.
James advised FSET that he had been offered full-time employment at Printpack as a Material Handler.
Congratulations to James for meeting his goal!

Today, I am proud to report that more than 21,000 people have gone through our Food Share Employment Training program and are working in Wisconsin. They are people like Sandy in northern Wisconsin. She was struggling as a single mother of four when she signed up for the program. Within weeks, Sandy had multiple job offers and is now employed full-time. Sandy's story is a model of success, and now she gives back, as a speaker and mentor in the Eagle River community. And people like Leon, who now works in Wisconsin Rapids.
