Former SDC employees share struggles following abrupt shutdown

Conversations on new opportunities filled the Employ Milwaukee offices on Tuesday.

The organization held a rapid-response job fair specifically targeting former Social Development Commission employees. The job fair was also open to the public.

"This is an organization that helped in the community. We had to find a way to keep those people employed, and that's what we do as the workforce board is coming in at that time to fill in the gap," said Jeffrey McAlister, Business Solutions Manager for Employ Milwaukee's Business Solutions.

Jobseekers like Nikesha Bynum and Sharaka Berry spent the evening speaking to dozens of potential employers.

The two were laid off following the abrupt shutdown of SDC in April.

"I'm still very, very adamant that being out and helping people is what I'm going to do," said Bynum.
