“Work will begin soon on the new Northwestern Mutual Life headquarters building in downtown
Milwaukee, and many, many jobs will be created for the project, including at least 40% reserved for City of Milwaukee residents,” said Alderman Hamilton, chair of the Common Council’s Judiciary and Legislation Committee.

“I urge residents to come out on Monday and find out what is required to become a skilled trades worker
and how to prepare and qualify for registered apprenticeship programs in the building and construction trades,” the alderman said. Alderman Hamilton said organizers will also have resources available for prospective workers, including where to get assistance with barriers to employment, how to obtain a GED or a driver’s license, and assistance with handling outstanding child support issues.
