“Foxconn Day” Events Part of Company’s Effort to Attract High-Skilled Talent Across Wisconsin for Future Job Opportunities
Milwaukee, WI – Foxconn Technology Group (Foxconn) announced today that it will hold the first two of a series of networking and recruitment events on Monday, October 9 and Monday, October 23 at Marquette University. In the weeks and months ahead, the company will hold additional “Foxconn Day” events at universities and technical colleges across Wisconsin as part of its effort to recruit talent for its advanced manufacturing campus to be built in Racine County.
“We look forward to meeting talented students and professionals during the Foxconn Day events across Wisconsin,” said Louis Woo, Foxconn Special Assistant to the Chairman and CEO of Foxconn. “We are excited to make career opportunities available in the state and grow the team that will help us create a robust 8K+5G ecosystem in the United States to meet future needs for the most advanced display technology.”
The event on Monday will occur from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the second floor of the Alumni Memorial Union (1442 West Wisconsin Avenue) in Milwaukee. The university invited students, faculty, staff and alumni to watch product demonstration and meet Foxconn representatives. Students and professionals can submit their resumes and cover letters via email to Foxconn@marquette.edu.
“At Marquette, we often talk about preparing our students for jobs that might not even exist yet. Now that Foxconn has arrived in Wisconsin, we find ourselves at the beginning of a transformational moment for our state and our region,” said Marquette President Michael R. Lovell. “We are more committed than ever to preparing our students to be innovative thinkers and problem-solvers, and believe that Marquette graduates will be a driving force in Foxconn’s success. We have a responsibility to lead the way in cultivating a strong work force, but no one institution can do this alone. From technical colleges to graduate programs, we must all work together to take advantage of this remarkable opportunity.”
Foxconn participated in its first Wisconsin career fair at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on October 5. “Foxconn Day” events will also showcase the company’s state-of-the-art technology, which will be used in a wide range of devices and solutions, from, among many others, the latest generation televisions to self-driving cars, and aircraft systems. The LCD panels produced in Wisconsin will revolutionize technology used in a wide range of areas, including innovative education, personalized entertainment, healthcare and medical solutions, advanced manufacturing systems, interactive retail, safety, and many more.
