Advance Wisconsin Employment is a small nonprofit that functions as a regional workforce development board in Wisconsin, established under the Federal Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act. It oversees publicly funded WIOA programs and One-Stop Job Centers in its region and designs locally tailored job training and workforce initiatives. The board emphasizes connecting local employers, educators, and community organizations to align workforce resources, directing skilling and re-skilling efforts, and disseminating regional labor market data and trends to inform planning. Based in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, it operates within the state's network of workforce development boards.

Its principal customers are regional employers seeking a prepared workforce, job seekers pursuing the skills for available roles, and educational and community partners involved in workforce development. The board aims to help meet both short-term and long-term regional labor needs by guiding resources toward skill development and coordinating access to publicly funded programs and One-Stop services. Recent regional coverage notes collaborations among workforce development boards and local educational institutions, including a 2023 partnership between Northcentral Technical College and the North Central Wisconsin Workforce Development Board to host a workforce event.
