Program Description
Wisconsin Works (W-2) program seeks to provide the necessary training, supportive services and financial incentives for low-
income parents to obtain permanent and stable employment with access to further training that will lead to career advancement.
Wisconsin’s residents are its most valuable resource. Some residents are unemployed due to poor education, poor job skills and

self-sustaining employment, which will promote economic growth. W-2 is one of several work-based programs designed to ensure
that everyone in Wisconsin shares in our economic opportunities. W-2 accomplishes this goal by providing needed services in a
comprehensive fashion, including such services as job readiness motivation, job retention and advancement skill training as well as
childcare. W-2 employment and training services are available to any eligible Wisconsin residents.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of Wisconsin, either pregnant or responsible for a child under 19
years of age, a US national, citizen, legal alien, or permanent resident, have low or very low income, and be either under-employed
