Eaton Corporation
Eaton Corporation is a global $7.3 billion diversified industrial manufacturer headquartered in Cleveland, OH with a production facility in inner-city Milwaukee, WI. In Milwaukee, Eaton partnered with a local community-based organization to assist with its workforce needs. Eaton cites its alliance with the Northwest Side Community Development Corporation as a testament that community success plays a role in business success. The two joined forces to strengthen the community by developing programs that enhanced education, public safety, and promoted economic self-sufficiency. Together, Eaton and the Northwest Side Community Development Corporation created a school-to-work program that kept youth off the streets and taught them portable job skills. Candidates were given 12 weeks of electronic assembly courses at a local college and two weeks of employability and life skills training. The program sent 60 percent of graduates to college.
