Established in 2009, the Wisconsin Seasonal Workforce Coalition was created with the purpose of utilizing seasonal employment to advance individuals into permanent employment. The Coalition, managed by Interfaith Older Adult Programs and founded by BUYSEASONS, is made up of many of the Milwaukee area's largest employers and community workforce agencies partnering together to create future opportunities for area job seekers. The Coalition strives to link individuals to year-round employment through a calendar of seasonal hiring.
