Discovering Milwaukee’s Career Hub: DCMKE Podcast Episode 1

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your job search, unsure about your next career move, or just needed a little extra motivation, you’ll want to tune into the brand new podcast—Direct Connect Conversations (DCMKE).

Hosted by Jason, DCMKE isn’t just another career advice show. It’s a dynamic space built with Milwaukee’s community at its heart. In the very first episode, Jason welcomes listeners and lays out the mission: tackling career challenges, building meaningful connections, and strengthening community, all right here in Milwaukee.

Whether you’re looking for your first role, re-entering the workforce, or just exploring your options, this podcast is made for you. Powered by Direct Connect MKE, the podcast acts as your personal career hub—bringing you resources for jobs, training programs, mentors, and support systems that help you thrive.

What’s especially powerful about Episode 1 is its honesty. Jason doesn’t shy away from the real issues: one in four Milwaukee households don’t have Internet at home, and many residents feel overwhelmed or disconnected from opportunities. DCMKE addresses the need for practical tools, relatable stories, and actionable advice—making sure you know you’re not alone on your journey.

Every other week, you can expect new episodes featuring job seekers, employers, youth leaders, and city innovators—each answering the big question: How do we build a Milwaukee where everyone has a pathway to success? You’ll get digital tips you can use today, stories you might see yourself in, and the encouragement to keep pushing forward.

Before you finish listening, Jason encourages you to take action: head to directconnectmke.com and create your free profile. In just five minutes, you could connect to your next job, mentor, or opportunity. Because here in Milwaukee, we’re building the future together—not just looking for work.

So, whether you’re listening while commuting, cooking, or taking some time for yourself, make sure to hit that follow button. The next episode dives into what local employers really want when hiring—trust me, you don’t want to miss it.
