Will County Workforce Services Division
Illinois’ Will County Workforce Services Division revolutionized citizen engagement by deploying secure, self-service kiosks powered by SiteKiosk Online - enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and digital communication across the community.
In the heart of Illinois, the Will County Workforce Services Division has taken a bold step toward the future of public service delivery. The organization plays a vital role in helping residents find employment opportunities, access training programs, and build sustainable careers within the local economy.
Faced with the growing demand for accessible and efficient workforce resources, the division recognized the need to modernize how citizens interact with its services. Traditional methods, limited service hours, and paperbased processes no longer met the expectations of today’s job seekers.
To bridge this gap, Will County implemented a network of self-service government kiosks powered by SiteKiosk Online. This innovative initiative has redefined how residents connect with essential workforce programs - making vital services more accessible, efficient, and responsive to the evolving needs of the community.
The Challenge
Will County’s Workforce Services Division faced several obstacles in its mission to serve the community effectively. Limited service hours made it difficult for working residents to access support and career services when needed.
Outdated technology further slowed operations, reducing efficiency and making it harder to deliver timely assistance. In addition, paper-intensive processes created unnecessary bottlenecks and longer wait times, impacting both staff productivity and citizen satisfaction.
The Solution
Recognizing the need for modernization, the division adopted SiteKiosk Online, a comprehensive platform for kiosk management and content creation.
The solution enabled secure kiosk administration to protect sensitive user information and ensure data integrity. It also introduced a robust content management system that allowed staff to publish dynamic multimedia campaigns directly to the kiosks.
Finally, SiteKiosk Online’s customizable interface made it possible to design an intuitive, user-friendly experience - empowering residents to access essential workforce resources quickly and independently.
The kiosks feature a user-friendly start screen designed to make navigation simple and intuitive for all visitors. From this main menu, users can easily access five key service areas tailored to their needs:
- Career Scholarships & Training: Explore funding opportunities and training programs to advance career skills.
- Career Services: Access employment assistance, resume guidance, and career counseling resources.
- Job Board: Browse current job openings and connect directly with local employers.
- Youth Program: Discover programs and opportunities designed to support young job seekers.
- Contact Us: Get in touch with staff for additional information or personalized support.
