Description

Adult Education Navigator America Works of Wisconsin, Inc. · Milwaukee County, Wisconsin · Full-Time Openings at our South, West, and North sites in Milwaukee County

How we serve

• Whole family. When a parent goes to work, the whole household feels it. We look at the full picture (children, child care, housing, transportation, well-being) and plan with the family, not just the person on the caseload.
• Abundance mindset. Every family brings strengths: skills, support networks, and determination. We build on what is already there, and we treat every setback as a next step, never a final word.
• In person, with dignity. Our doors are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Clients are welcomed onsite and treated as partners in their own progress.
• Results that last. We measure success by jobs kept, wages grown, and families made stronger, and we use what we learn to keep improving.

What you’ll do

• Learn each adult's starting point and goals, and build a personal completion plan.
• Enroll clients in classes, tutoring, and testing with local providers.
• Stay in close contact and find practical solutions for child care, schedules, and transportation.
• Connect graduates to training, apprenticeships, and college.
• Track progress and report it to the State each quarter.

You’ll thrive here if

• You are a teacher, tutor, advisor, or coach at heart.
• You believe every adult can finish, and you are patient enough to help them do it.

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in education, social work, human services, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• Experience in adult education, GED/HSED programming, academic advising, or workforce development.
• Paid training toward the State FEP credential the role requires.
