MILWAUKEE COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Ike Center has a new campaign launching in Milwaukee this month.
It aims to give people with disabilities in our area training and new employment options.
The campaign has partnered with several local employers around the area in the hopes of building a more inclusive workforce in the Milwaukee area.
"Without this place, these people would have no place to go, especially no place where they feel alive or they feel empowered, and where they can actually thrive," said Gary Mueller, executive creative director of the Love Works campaign. "This is their lifeline."
As the campaign continues, Mueller hopes more local brands will reach out.
The Ike Center is able to work with around 100 people each day, but they always have their list of applicants on a waiting list.
