MADISON – With the economy showing no signs of stabilizing any time soon, the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) has responded by packaging a suite of online career tools. Employment Essentials, found at http://uwalumni.com/employmentessentials, showcases WAA’s unique Badger-to-Badger connections and includes a variety of free career services.

Featuring tools for job seekers and employers looking to hire, along with short-term insurance options, financial guidance and more, Employment Essentials offers online resources that alumni throughout the world can access.

“The current economic climate has been affecting us all,” says Paula Bonner, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Alumni Association. “And since we’re here to serve all alumni, students and friends, we urge everyone to take advantage of these free online tools and the large Badger network that spans the globe. Used together, they can really make a positive impact during these difficult times.”
