For the City Times

Wisconsin Rapids is proud to announce its participation in YPWeek, a week of events celebrating young professionals in the workplace, presented by NEWaukee.

Other communities participating include Door County, Fond du Lac, Fox Cities, Green Bay, Kenosha, La Crosse, Madison, Marshfield, Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Racine, Sheboygan, Stevens Point, and Wausau. The grassroots statewide program will run April 23 to 30, with each community presenting a variety of programs that empower young professionals to take ownership and pride in their hometowns.

The  diverse  lineup  of  150+  events  uniquely  highlights  each  community  and  the organizations that currently exist for young professionals to engage in their hometown.

Current’s events include a tour and social on Monday, April 25, 5:15-7:30pm at Aspirus Riverview Hospital (410 Dewey Street); and a panelist event titled “Why do you believe in Wisconsin Rapids”. on Wednesday, April 27, 5:30 – 7:30pm at Great Expectations (3551 Plover Road).

Current is pleased to be volunteering for the Boys & Girls Club event “A Toast to Great Futures” on Friday, April 29. For more information about Current’s events, please visit ypweek.com/communities/wisconsin-rapids.

YPWeek  Wisconsin  is  modeled  after  a  program  that NEWaukee started in 2012 to provide a week-long series of events focusing on discovery, adventure, and meaningful conversations  about  issues  that  matter  to  young  professionals  in  the  Milwaukee area.

With the support of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, in 2015 YPWeek Wisconsin expanded to featured eight communities. Since the announcement of YPWeek Wisconsin 2016 in December, the initiative has caught steam with seven new cities joining the movement.

Current – Wisconsin Rapids aims to connect and engage young professionals (young in years, at heart, or in being a professional) in the Wisconsin Rapids area to help grow and generate enthusiasm and opportunities for our community.

YPWeek Wisconsin 2016 brings together young leaders in 15 communities, at purposefully chosen locations that integrate the unique cultural assets with meaningful learning or social interaction. The activities engage the millennial workforce in activities and experience that are important to them while educating employers on the important role these functions play in retaining their workforce.

Major sponsors of YPWeek Wisconsin 2016 include: Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Aurora Health Care, Harley­Davidson and Bartolotta Restaurant Group.
