Sheboygan, Wis. – The Sheboygan County Economic Development
Corporation released an updated SomeplaceBetter.org . Sheboygan County is
the only area with comprehensive workforce relocation materials thanks to a
partnership between the Sheboygan County Economic Development
Corporation (SCEDC) and Sheboygan County Chamber of Commerce under the
Someplace Better brand.
Sheboygan County has ~3,000 jobs available in nearly every field, education
level and experience expectations. Growing Sheboygan County firms such as
Johnsonville continue to have available opportunities for both professional and
entry-level careers. “Johnsonville currently has 55 open positions including
supply chain, maintenance, and manufacturing with a starting wage of $17.00
per hour with benefits.” Stated, Kristen Hiske, Johnsonville’s Workforce
Outreach Coordinator.
“The area has many available middle class, family sustaining careers,” stated
Gary Dulmes SCEDC Chair. “Sheboygan County also has incredible parks and
world-class amenities. The SCEDC feels it is critical to tell our area’s story to
attract top tier talent who are looking for a better place to live.”
The innovative website, www.SomeplaceBetter.org, is already visited by over
2,200 people per month performing over 900 job searches on its job board. The
website also hosts a community calendar by coalescing all Sheboygan County
area chamber calendars into one, hosts library of community and testimonial
videos, and an ongoing list of area accolades such as Sheboygan being named
the 2 nd most livable City by AARP.
One person who Someplace Better helped to recruit is Justin Selle, President
and CEO of St. Nicholas Hospital. “My wife and I were sent a link to Some Place
Better by HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital when I was notified about an opportunity
within the organization,” stated Selle. “We watched the videos about the area on
our TV and were amazed with what the area had to offer. We knew the
opportunity was with a good organization and HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital was
servicing a great community.” Justin moved to Sheboygan from Missouri this
past July.
