Marketing
“By Veterans, for Veterans in collaboration with employers hiring veterans”
Veterans
Our Employer first veteran job training services pre-screens applicants based on MOS (Military occupation of Service) and matches them with employer’ immediate needs. Each program trains and provide gainful employment opportunities to over 128 returning men and women of the armed forces. UPLIFT Wisconsin recognizes that returning military personnel have a specific (MOS) Military Occupation of Service skill sets but find it extremely difficult to transition back to civilian life. Their overall success requires a variety of real world life skills assessments, critical thinking evaluations, resume transition process and direct employer critiquing of hiring expectations and continuous mentoring support. UPLIFT’s job readiness activities are designed to assess, address and successfully complete short and long-term employment goals. However, team roll playing is key to clear insight of what it takes to become an immediate asset and productive employee.
General Public
Several hundreds of men and women have a limited education, few skills, and lack a strong
work ethic necessary to hold a job. All too often these individuals come from families who have
been on welfare for years, and rarely did their parents or peers stress the importance of
responsibility and self-sufficiency.

Going the Distance-Feasibility
The Feasibility Study has been 3 years in the making and is perhaps the most crucial tool that our organization considered when preparing our targeted strategic business plan.
The findings provide a “roadmap” that can only lead to success. Furthermore, there is tremendous benefits in supporting our cause of supporting and promoting local small businesses through training those that are living in communities which are in poverty, are unemployed, are veterans returning from the Armed Forces protecting our nation, and are those less fortunate or physically challenged that if given a chance could make a difference.
Uplift Multi Media Technologies employer first-build program that involved fast turnaround of
concepts and modules”. Given the rapid pace of change in technology and the fierceness of
competition among tech schools, this strategy is a necessity. Flexibility should be a priority as
well, so that a new system does not become outdated as technology develops. Providing spaces
for teams to function interactively is key. Trainees will be connected to each other, to the
instructor, and to data resources around the world.
Going the Distance
Perhaps now more than ever, small businesses must operate in a highly efficient manner in
every area from accounting to websites and everything in between including communications.
Promotion through social enterprising can focus and evaluate a full scale analysis designed to
strengthen your corporate identity.
Uplift Multi Media Technologies can help small business create marketing programs, outreach
efforts and materials that effectively communicate who they are, what they do and how their
audience can benefit from it.
Recognizing the wide variety of options for digital media, as well as the significant expense
often associated with traditional methods of marketing such as paid advertising and printed
materials.
Our social enterprise network promotes and benefits small businesses with limited resources
more effectively to achieve desired outcomes. By focusing on “relationship marketing,” UPLIFT
Wisconsin strengthens existing relationships and identifies new promotional methods within
the small business community.
